CATALOGUING CATEGORY
====================
Engineering and Scientific
TARGET AUDIENCE
===============
Mechanical or chemical engineers and technicians in the chemical,
petrochemical or utility industries.
PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
=====================
Two word description :- Steam Tables
One line description :-
Physical properties of ice, water and steam in all popular units.
Short Description :-
Data for 15 fixed and 17 variable properties for ice, water and steam
from -100 °C to 800 °C and up to 1000 bar. Has context sensitive,
on-line Help. User selectable units.
Full Description :-
WASP is a replacement for traditional printed Steam Tables, but it
goes further in that it provides a much wider set of properties, it
eliminates the need for interpolating between data points, and it will
work in any of the generally accepted units. There is context
sensitive, on-line Help available at all times.
It contains data for 15 point properties, and 17 temperature and
pressure dependent properties for ice, water and steam. Most of the
correlations cover the range from -100 °C to 800 °C and up to 1000 bar,
and some extend even beyond this range. Calculated data points match
published data very closely.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
===================
DOS : 2.11 or later
RAM : 512k
DISK : 360k or larger floppy, stiffy or hard disk
VIDEO : Monochrome, CGA, EGA, VGA or compatible
Co-processor : Optional
LIST OF FILES
=============
The complete WASP package consists of the following files :-
GETRESP.EXE Utility for interactive batch files
PAGE.COM Text file display utility
README This file
README.BAT A batch file used to display or print this file
REGISTER.DOC The order form for registering your own copy of WASP
WASP.EXE The executable file for WASP
WASPBOOK.DOC The instruction manual for the WASP package
WASPDEFS.DTA Holds the selected units etc
WASPHELP.HLP The on-line help instructions
Please ensure that all these files are included whenever you pass copies
of WASP on to others.
If you compress the files into an archive for distribution or for
posting to a BBS please name the archive "WASP" + "version number",
eg WASP101.ZIP. (The archive file extension will of course change if
you use a different archiving utility.)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
WASP will run directly off the distribution floppy disk without any
special installation procedure. Simply follow the startup instructions
in the box at the beginning of this file. However the distributor may
have compressed the files into an archive file to fit more onto the
floppy. If your distribution disk does not contain all the files listed
above, but instead contains the file WASP101.ZIP or WASP101.ARC (or some
similar name) please follow the distributors instructions to un-archive
the files.
To install WASP on your hard disk all you have to do is copy all the
files on the distribution disk into a new sub-directory. To create a
new sub-directory on your hard drive follow these steps :-
1) Ensure that you are at the DOS prompt, ie display shows C:>
(if your hard drive is drive D display shows D:> , etc)
2) If you want the new sub-directory to be off the root directory
type CD\ and press <ENTER>. If you prefer the new sub-directory
to be off some other directory change to that directory.
3) Type MD WASP and press <ENTER>.
4) Type CD WASP and press <ENTER>. Display should show C:\WASP>.
If your distribution disk contains all the files in the LIST OF FILES
above, insert it into the A drive and type COPY A:*.* and press <ENTER>.
The programme is then ready to run. If your distribution disk does not
contain all the files listed above, but instead contains the archive
file WASP101.ZIP or WASP101.ARC (or some similar name) copy that file to
the new sub-directory (eg COPY A:WASP101.ZIP). Then follow the
distributors instructions to un-archive the files.
DETAILED INSTRUCTION MANUAL
===========================
The detailed instruction manual for WASP is included on the distribution
disk in the form of a text file called WASPBOOK.DOC. It contains only
standard ASCII characters and should print successfully on any printer.
To make a hard copy of the manual you should set your printer up to use
a 10 cpi font (most printers default to this at startup) and from the
WASP sub-directory type PRINT WASPBOOK.DOC and then press <ENTER>. It
is also possible to make a copy of the manual by running the WASP
programme and pressing <Alt P> at the opening screen.
REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
WASP is distributed as Shareware. This means you are free to use this
copy of WASP for a few weeks to determine its value and usefulness to
you. If you find WASP to be worth the asking price then you register
by sending us your order form and cheque. If WASP does not meet your
needs or standards then it costs you nothing and you can reformat the
distribution disk and use it for something else (or preferably pass it
on to someone who may find it useful !). The manual and the on-line
help screens contain more details on shareware for those new to this
system of software distribution.
Full details of the registration process and licensing costs are
included in the manual and within the programme. The easiest way to
complete the registration form is to run WASP and press <Alt R> at the
Shareware Distribution screen.
SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTORS
======================
We are most grateful to the distributors of shareware who help us to
get WASP widely known. Any bona fide distributor of shareware (including
disk distributors, BBS operators, computer clubs, magazines on or
enclosing disks and CD-ROM manufacturers) are welcome to include WASP
in their range, subject to the following requirements :-
- The package must include all the files listed in this document.
If they are compressed into an archive please use the naming
convention given with the list of files above.
- None of the files listed above may be modified in any way.
- You are welcome to add other files for the purposes of providing
a menu or automatic archive extraction.
- WASP may be included on a disk with any other product, provided
that it is made clear that any payment for that other product is
not for WASP.
- No price or other compensation may be charged for WASP. A charge
up to US$10-00 plus postage may be made for the evaluation disk.
- Any advertisements, catalogues or other literature must point out
that shareware requires separate payment to the author if regular
use is made of the product.
- We would like distributors to have the most up to date versions.
If you include WASP in your catalogue send us a photocopy of the
relevant page (or a printout of the relevant section of a disk
based catalogue) and we will keep you supplied with the latest
versions.
