ASP Ombudsman
Steam Properties is produced by Taftan Data, a member of the
Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure
that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting
the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can
help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does
not provide technical support for members' products. Please write to
the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI USA 49442-9427,
Fax 616-788-2765, or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to
ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.

3-How to install Steam Properties?
Steam Properties is a Windows program. In order to install the program:
1) Copy all the files mentioned above to a suitable directory
2) In Windows choose: File, New and then select "steampro.exe"
If you wish to test the program in diskette directly without installation,
the diskette should not be write protected. Steam Properties saves the
latest changes to input fields and default units and whenever you start
you can begin where you finished last time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
4-How to install DLL version of Steam Properties?
(registered version only!)
DLL version of Steam Properties is a Windows program. In order to install
the program:
1) Copy all the files mentioned above to a suitable directory.
This step is not necessary if you have already installed steam
properties.
2) In Windows choose: File, New and then select "dllsetup.exe"
3) Define the complete path of DLL version in your "AUTOEXEC.BAT"
i.e. if you have copied Steam Properties on your C drive in a
subdirectory called \MYDATA\STEAM12 you should add this line
SET STEAMPRO=C:\MYDATA\STEAM12
into your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
After next reboot of your system DLL version is properly installed and
you can run "dllsetup.exe" to choose your favorite units for inputs and
outputs.
If you wish to test the program in diskette directly without installation,
the diskette should not be write protected. DLL setup saves the
latest changes to the default units.
Attention! DLL version needs that the following files exist in the same
directory:
DEFAULT.CFG
STEAMP.DAT
STEAMPT.DAT
STEAMT.DAT
STEAM.DLL
DLLSETUP.EXE
Now DLL version can be used in your application. All major spreadsheet and
database programs support integration of functions defined in DLLs.
The user manual of your spreadsheet or database program describes if you can
use DLLs and how you "register functions" and call them. The functions
inside the DLL are following:
Function Inputs Output
1 STMPT Pressure Saturation Temperature
2 STMTP Temperature Saturation Pressure
3 STMTQH Temperature & Dryness fraction Enthalpy
4 STMTQS Temperature & Dryness fraction Entropy
5 STMTQV Temperature & Dryness fraction Specific Volume
6 STMPQH Pressure & Dryness fraction Enthalpy
7 STMPQS Pressure & Dryness fraction Entropy
8 STMPQV Pressure & Dryness fraction Specific Volume
9 STMPTH Pressure & Temperature Enthalpy
10 STMPTS Pressure & Temperature Entropy
11 STMPTV Pressure & Temperature Specific Volume
12 STMPHT Pressure & Enthalpy Temperature
13 STMPHS Pressure & Enthalpy Entropy
14 STMPHV Pressure & Enthalpy Specific Volume
15 STMPHQ Pressure & Enthalpy Dryness fraction
16 STMPST Pressure & Entropy Temperature
17 STMPSH Pressure & Entropy Enthalpy
18 STMPSV Pressure & Entropy Specific Volume
19 STMPSQ Pressure & Entropy Dryness fraction
20 STMPVT Pressure & Specific Volume Temperature
21 STMPVH Pressure & Specific Volume Enthalpy
22 STMPVS Pressure & Specific volume Entropy
23 STMPVQ Pressure & Specific volume Dryness fraction
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5-How to call functions inside DLL version of Steam Properties from
MS EXCEL?
Functions inside a DLL can be made accessible by using "register" function
in MS EXCEL. For example if you need to calculate the specific enthalpy of
steam and you know the absolute pressure and temperature you should use
STMPTH which needs two inputs (P,T) and has one output i.e. h.
You assign a cell e.g. A1 this value:
REGISTER("C:\MYDATA\STEAM12\STEAM.DLL";"STMPTH";"EBB")
or
REGISTER("C:\MYDATA\STEAM12\STEAM.DLL";"STMPTH";"EBB!")
where,
C:\MYDATA\STEAM12\STEAM.DLL (is the location of STEAM.DLL on your drive)
(Module_text in MS EXCEL )
STMPTH (is the name of the function you intend to use)
(Procedure_text in MS EXCEL )
EBB (specifies that the function needs two input of double type and)
(returns a pointer to a double type )
(Type_text in MS EXCEL )
EBB! (works in the same way as EBB except that each time you change)
(the inputs to the function MS EXCEL automatically updates the)
(output )
(Type_text in MS EXCEL )
You will register each function only once, but you can call it as many times
as you wish. Here is an example on how you use "CALL":
CALL("A1";"20";"100")
Where,
A1 is the cell where you registered the function
20 is the first input; in this case pressure
100 is the second input; in this case temperature
Input and output parameters will be in default units. The default units can
be selected by running "dllsetup.exe".
The name of the functions and Type_text for using with "REGISTER" are:
Function Type_text
1 STMPT EB or EB!
2 STMTP EB or EB!
3 STMTQH EBB or EBB!
4 STMTQS EBB or EBB!
5 STMTQV EBB or EBB!
6 STMPQH EBB or EBB!
7 STMPQS EBB or EBB!
8 STMPQV EBB or EBB!
9 STMPTH EBB or EBB!
10 STMPTS EBB or EBB!
11 STMPTV EBB or EBB!
12 STMPHT EBB or EBB!
13 STMPHS EBB or EBB!
14 STMPHV EBB or EBB!
15 STMPHQ EBB or EBB!
16 STMPST EBB or EBB!
17 STMPSH EBB or EBB!
18 STMPSV EBB or EBB!
19 STMPSQ EBB or EBB!
20 STMPVT EBB or EBB!
21 STMPVH EBB or EBB!
22 STMPVS EBB or EBB!
23 STMPVQ EBB or EBB!
