Nature of problem:
Monte Carlo neutrino event generator for high-energy neutrino telescopes.

Solution method:
Neutrino events are first sampled according to a specified flux, then propagated through the Earth and finally are allowed to interact inside a detection volume.

Restrictions:
Neutrino energies range from 10 GeV to 1012 GeV.

Running time:
104 events require typically a 1-GHz CPU time of about 300 s.
