===========================================================================
This directory contains the folowing archives of the perplex programs, data 
files and documents. 
===========================================================================
Zip Archive Perp_datafiles.zip: these files must be placed in the same 
    directory/folder as the PERPLEX programs.

 ver*.dat  - thermodynamic data base files.
 solut.dat - thermodynamic solution model file.
 epi.ps    - postscript file necessary for psvdraw.
 pro.ps    - postscript file necessary for psvdraw.  
 ps2ai.ps  - ghostscript filter to convert psvdraw native postscript
             to adobe illustrator format, new versions of adobe 
             illustrator and corel can import native postscript (i.e.,
             the graphical output from psvdraw) directly.
===========================================================================
Zip Archive Perp_ibmpc.zip:

 *.exe    - perplex programs for IBM compatible PC's. These are console 
            programs and it is probably easiest to run these from a 
            "Command prompt console". 
===========================================================================
Zip Archive Perp_mac.zip:

 *.powerpc - perplex applications compiled for Mac PowerPC's.
 *.se      - perplex programs compiled for Mac SE's, these will run
             on the Powerpc as well, albeit slowly. 
 
 NOTE: The PowerPC version of vertex cannot read old versions of 
 input files created by build (some cryptic file formatting 
 problem); however if the input files are regenerated with 
 build there is no problem reading them with the powerPC vertex.
===========================================================================
Zip Archive Perp_docs.zip:

 in*.dat  - input files for vertex for the examples described in 
            examples.doc.
 plot*.ps - commented postscript plots for the examples described in 
            examples.doc.
 print*   - commented output for the examples described in 
            examples.doc.
 README   - this file.
 README.* or *.DOC - these files are the "README" files for specific 
            applications, utilities, and documentation, they 
            are not formatted and are easier to read with a
            font such as courier. The file README.PERPLEX contains
            more detailed descriptions of the individual files.
 sample.* - records of terminal input for the examples described in 
            examples.doc.
 sin*.ps  - postscript files for a review of phase diagram principles.
            see Document.doc.
 tut*.ps  - postscript files that comprise the tutorial. see
            Document.doc.
 vdoc.ps  - technical program documentation (postscript). (Table
            of contents is printed last).
===========================================================================
 Stuffit Archive MacGS.sit.Hqx:
          - Mac Ghostscript, a program that can be used to convert
            perplex postscript files to adobe illustrator format.

===========================================================================
 Stuffit Archive epsconverter.sit.Hqx:
          - a commercial program that can be used to convert perplex 
            postscript to illustrator or MacDraw format.
