The Red Hat CDs are made to order, and as such, will have all the Red Hat updates to that time on the CD. Rather than having them in a separate updates directory, we have opted to make them part of the install, so you automatically have an up-to-date Linux system. A large amount of extra software has been included on the CDROM, including Corel WordPerfect (downloadable version) and Sun JDK 1.1.7 (for the programmers out there). A second CD is available, which contains all the source code. Red Hat Linux is just too big now to have all the binaries and sources on the one CD. This CD is also available, also for UKP 3.00. For more information, and how to order, please visit the web page at: http://www.amush.cx/linux/ International orders accepted, but due to the cost of bank charges and international mail, the prices will be slightly higher. Sorry, we cannot accept credit cards. Cash (Pounds sterling preferred!) and cheques drawn on a UK bank. International bank transfers accepted, however subject to a UKP 2.00 charge due to bank charges. There is a UKP 1.50 charge for postage and packaging within the UK, variable for international customers. - -- Michael "Soruk" McConnell Eridani Star System -- The Most Up-to-Date Red Hat Linux CDROMs Available Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.amush.cx/linux/ Fax: +44-8701-600807 - -- This article has been digitally signed by the moderator, using PGP. http://www.iki.fi/mjr/cola-public-key.asc has PGP key for validating signature.

In the new version, this only applies to constituents of phases described by the rarely used model SUBS. 9 The convergence of the new SUBO model has been improved. 10 If the sublattice arrangement of a phase is defined such that all sublattices contain vacancies as one constituent, the phase might form empty, i.e., it might contain nothing but vacancies. In the new version this cannot happen if the phase in entered in two copies. 11 When possible, the chemical potentials of all system components are calculated also for stoichiometric reactions, for instance in the case when the system contains two system components but only one stoichiometric phase is formed at equilibrium. This is done by setting the activities of a number of proper stoichiometric phases equal to unity, this number being equal to the number of non-defined chemical potentials. 12 Changes to empirical variables have been made in order to optimize for solution stability and speed. 13 Error messages 506 and 507 modified with corresponding changes in the code. 14 In the ChemSage output, mole fraction of system components are being printed with more digits for phases described by SUBS. 15 Up until the version 2.1.0, ChemApp did not give a proper error message if one tried to define more streams, or more stream constituents, than possible. The maximum for both is the maximum number of constituents of the version of ChemApp used (see parameter 'NA' in 'TQSIZE'). This value is 30 for the "light" version of ChemApp. This release of ChemApp now contains a proper error number and error message for this case. 16 Safe extrapolation added. This concept, which can be applied to any mixture phase model, allows for a per-constituent penalty to the Gibbs energy beyond a specified concentration. Using this new feature, a phase can be made metastable at compositions where the mixture phase model alone would predict it to be stable. This new feature is used with models which only give, because of their very nature, correct results at low concentrations of some or all its phase constituents, for instance the dilute solution model based on the Wagner approach ('WAGN'). 17 Added error numbers 901 and 902, plus matching descriptions. These errors occur if the routine 'TQOPEN' cannot open the specified file (901), or 'TQCLOS' cannot close it (902). Since 'TQOPEN' and 'TQCLOS' are not part of ChemApp themselves, but of the interface between ChemApp and other languages than FORTRAN (e.g. C/C++, Borland Delphi), this change does not affect FORTRAN application programs of ChemApp. o Distributions: Digital(R) Visual FORTRAN (Intel(R)) added. Lahey(R) FORTRAN F95 added. Sun Sparc Solaris(R) added. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ What is ChemApp? ChemApp is a programming tool from the area of computational thermochemistry. It is a programmer's library consisting of a rich set of subroutines, based on the thermodynamic phase equilibrium calculation module of ChemSage. It permits the calculation of complex, multicomponent, multiphase chemical equilibria and their associated energy balances. ChemApp is available as object code for a wide range of platforms and as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL). Why ChemApp "light"? From the very beginning, ChemApp was available for a number of platforms, one of which was Linux(R). At that time, I asked around whether people would be interested in a free version of ChemApp for Linux, which had to be somehow scaled down though. The response was encouraging, and a comment I received more than once was "Why do you only plan on doing this for Linux??" :-). It was thus decided to go ahead and produce a version of ChemApp that could be made available for free and enable everybody interested in getting to know ChemApp to do so at no risk. One of the major aims was to provide people with an easy way to find out whether ChemApp can be linked to their own or third-party software. This special version of ChemApp was dubbed ChemApp "light" and the goal was to make it available on as many platforms as possible, not only for Linux. One (major) thing that needed to be done in order to get the "light" version ready was to convert the printed manual to an online form. At the same time, I wrote dozens of code examples in both Fortran and C to illustrate the use of the ChemApp subroutines. The first release of ChemApp "light" was V2.0.2, made publically available on 13 January 1998. How does ChemApp "light" differ from ChemApp? The differences between ChemApp "light" and the full version relate to a) the size of the chemical systems it can handle, and b) the fact that ChemApp "light" cannot perform so called "target" calculations. For details on these differences, please see the relevant chapter of the documentation. What does the ChemApp "light" distribution comprise? The distribution is divided into two parts: Object code and documentation. The object code is available for a number of platforms. The object code archive also contains a set of example thermodynamic data-files, and the program "ChemFile", which can be used to convert existing thermodynamic data-files in ChemSage V3.x format to the ChemSage V4/ChemApp format. The documentation is available as a set of HTML files, to be viewed with your web browser. It also contains dozens of code examples in both Fortran and C. In addition, an "FAQ" has been made available for ChemApp, answering some common questions about ChemApp and ChemApp "light". To download ChemApp "light", go to the ChemApp "light" web page (see below). Where do I look for more info?
