Although I don't know the particular algorithm used to scale the parameters,
the unscaled parameters can be obtained from the INTER file which is
produced when the MSF option is used on the $EST line. Of course, this is a
temporary file which is deleted at the end of the run. But then, at the end
of the run OUTPUT gives you unscaled parameters (the final estimates).
The scaling algorithm gives the initial estimates a scaled value of 0.1
(0.1000E+00) for all parameters (see 0th iteration in output) and the range
of the scaled values must cover the region between the upper and lower
bounds (either defined by you or the default bounds). There's more to it
than this, but, this should give you a start.
