This version of MELTS/pMELTS is the latest software release.

It was built on a Pentium III (DELL Inspiron 5000e laptop)
running RedHat Linux 7.0.  It should run on any Intel system 
with RedHat 7.x (or equivalent) installed. 

The execuatble is gzip-ed and may be recovered using gzip -d.

This executable is dynamically linked against shared Motif,
X11, and C dynamic libraries.  These are all part of the 
RedHat distribution. Make sure you include the runtime OpenMotif
rpm when you install RedHat to gain access to the shared Motif
library.

Correct functioning of the graphics popup window requires 
installation of the xMgr software package 
(http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/).  It is not 
necessary to have this package installed to run MELTS.

When the executable is started you will be asked a question 
as to which version of the software you wish to run (MELTS or 
pMELTS).  MELTS should be used for calculations on natural 
liquids in the range 0-2 GPa.  pMELTS should ONLY be used 
for peridotite bulk compositions in the range 1-3 GPa.  The
software will not stop you from doing otherwise, but results
will not be useful if you try.
