  This technical paper describes a software package that was designed to
produce initial conditions for large cosmological simulations in the context of
the Horizon collaboration. These tools generalize E. Bertschinger's Grafic1
software to distributed parallel architectures and offer a flexible alternative
to the Grafic2 software for ``zoom'' initial conditions, at the price of large
cumulated cpu and memory usage. The codes have been validated up to resolutions
of 4096^3 and were used to generate the initial conditions of large
hydrodynamical and dark matter simulations. They also provide means to generate
constrained realisations for the purpose of generating initial conditions
compatible with, e.g. the local group, or the SDSS catalog.
