*********************************************************************************
Transmitted on one-3.5" HD diskette with a self-extracting 
PkWare(r) executable WINDOWS (r) file.

Name		     Size			FILE Description
*********************************************************************************
MINTEQ   EXE        145,119	self-extracting PkWare(R) executable for
				the DEC VAX11 source, data, and sample files. 

Extracting files from MINTEQ.EXE will create the following files in 
C:\MINTEQ subdirectory by default:

1  MINTEQ.FOR            92,946  MINTEQ FORTRAN source
2  ALK.DAT                  157  Alkalinity factors
3  ANALYT.DAT             1,065  Coefficients for computing log K from a polynomial
				 	function of temperature, data library
4  COMMON.DAT               770  COMMON file for subroutines
5  COMP.DAT               2,447  Component data library
6  SAMPLE.DAT             2,049  Sample seawater specification problem
7  SEAWATER.DAT           2,049  Same as 6 above
8  TYPE6.DAT             61,862  Thermodynamic data for TYPE 6 solids
9  THERMO.DAT           117,197  Thermodynamic data for the aqueous species,
				 	solids, redox couples, and dissolved gases
10 MINOUT.DAT          136,428   Sample problem output

        10 file(s)        416,970 bytes


Files 1-7 contain 80-character records, 8-9 contain 91-character, file 10 contains
110-character records.

**********************************************************************************

To implement MINTEQ on a DEC VAX11, assign logical unit 6 as the output file.
The default for unit 6 is the terminal. The library data file names cannot be
changed, and the input data file must be named SAMPLE.DAT.  The sample problem
is also supplied as SEAWATER.DAT to avoid the possibility of being overwritten
by the user.  The INCLUDE file for the COMMON information must be named COMMON.DAT.

**********************************************************************************

When MINTEQ was submitted to the National Energy Software Center at Argonne National 
Lab in 1988, MINTEQ was tested on a DEC Vax 11 under VMS 4.5 witn the Vax Fortran 77 
compiler.  It was not retested or modified when it was transferred to RSICC and 
released in August 2001.  The files were downloaded to PC and compressed to provide 
a convenient way to transfer them.

Expanding files from distribution media:
To extract the files from MINTEQ.EXE, insert media on a Windows PC, access drive, 
double-click on the self-extracting executable and the files will extract to their 
respective subdirectory (default choice; see above). No executables file is 
included with this package. 

See the reference documents NESC Note 88-74 for file details and NUREG/CR-4808 
for details on package execution.
