This is to announce the availablility of ChemApp "light", which is a
freely available version of ChemApp.
What is ChemApp?
ChemApp is a programming tool from the area of computational
thermochemistry. It is a programmer's library consisting of a rich
set of subroutines, based on the thermodynamic phase equilibrium
calculation module of ChemSage. It permits the calculation of
complex, multicomponent, multiphase chemical equilibria and their
associated energy balances. ChemApp is available as object code for
a wide range of platforms and as a Dynamic Link Library (DLL).
Why ChemApp "light"?
From the very beginning, ChemApp was available for Linux too
(http://gttserv.lth.rwth-aachen.de/~sp/tt/chemapp/cola.htm). At
that time, I asked whether people would be interested in a free
version of ChemApp for Linux, which had to be somehow scaled down
though. The response was encouraging, and a comment I received more
than once was "Why do you only plan on doing this for Linux??" :-).
It was thus decided to go ahead and produce a version of ChemApp
that could be made available for free and enable everybody
interested in getting to know ChemApp to do so at no risk. One of
the major aims was to provide people with an easy way to find out
whether ChemApp can be linked to their own or third-party
software. This special version of ChemApp was dubbed ChemApp "light"
and the goal was to make it available on as many platforms as
possible, not only for Linux.
One (major) thing that needed to be done in order to get the "light"
version ready was to convert the printed manual to an online
form. At the same time, I wrote dozens of code examples in both
Fortran and C to illustrate the use of the ChemApp subroutines.
How does ChemApp "light" differ from ChemApp?
The differences between ChemApp "light" and the full version
relate to a) the size of the chemical systems it can handle,
and b) the fact that ChemApp "light" cannot perform so called
"target" calculations. For details on these differences, please
see the relevant chapter of the documentation.
What does the ChemApp "light" distribution comprise?
The distribution is divided into two parts: Object code and
documentation.
The object code is available for a number of platforms (more to
be added in time). The object code archive also contains a set
of example thermodynamic data-files, and the program
"ChemFile", which can be used to convert existing thermodynamic
data-files in ChemSage V3.x format to the ChemSage V4/ChemApp
format.
The documentation is available as a set of HTML files, to be
viewed with your web browser. It also contains dozens of code
examples in both Fortran and C.
In addition, an "FAQ" has been made available for ChemApp,
answering some common questions about ChemApp and ChemApp
"light".
To download ChemApp "light", go to the ChemApp "light" web page
(see below).

CandleWeb AS is proud to announce a new Java based authoring tool
called Awethor. Awethor strives to meet the needs of web authors when
it comes to designing and creating graphics for the Web. As the
Awethor system uses vector graphics rather than bitmaps, users can
create and publish large scale drawings and animations in small files,
thereby avoiding the large download times traditionally associated with
large web graphics and animations.
Overview
We have worked hard to generate portable and fast graphics for the Web.
The output of Awethor can be run in any browser that supports the Java
language. Awethor typically outputs two files :
1. A file containing the presentation in the QDV (Quick
and Dirty Vector graphics) format. QDV is optimized for the Web, and
graphics in this format has a fraction of the size compared to similar
graphics in GIF or JPEG.
2. An HTML-file example with the correct parameters for incorporating
the QDV graphics into regular HTML-files.
In addition, a standard Java applet driver for QDV is used. The size of
the applet is about 13K, so it is loaded quickly (and automatically) and
you may reuse the same applet on multiple QDV files.
Here is a short summary of the features of Awethor :
- - Creates animations and vector graphics that scales for use on the web.
- - Drawing of rectangles, arcs, lines, polygons, splines, images and text
are suppported.
- - Full featured WYSIWYG vector based drawing tool.
- - Integrated HTML based help system.
Availability
Awethor may be downloaded from our web site :
http://www.candleweb.no/
The beta versions may be downloaded for free. The release version will
be priced at US$ 199.- with support and US$ 49.- without support.
Requirements
Awethor is written in Java, and should run on any Java 1.1 compatible
platform. The best starting point for locating the latest version of
Java for your operating system is the Web site of Sun's Javasoft unit :
http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/java-ports.cgi
Feedback
Questions about Awethor should be sent to candleweb _at_ candleweb.no.
