Vapor Liquid Equilibrium Calculator: VLECalc Version 1.1
Copyright January 2000 William D. Kovats
*Purpose*
VLECalc is a tool for chemists and engineers that develop or operate chemical manufacturing processes which use organic solvents. It performs a bubble point calculation given pure component vapor pressure parameters (Antoine constants) and an activity coefficient model (ideal, UNIFAC or NRTL). It can also simulate a simple batch distillation and solvent replacement operation.

*Installation*
Simtel.net requires software posted to its mirror sites have the visual basic runtime files removed. This saves space on their servers and can make for faster downloads, but may also require you to do another download and install.
If you do not already have the visual basic 4 32 bit runtime files, they can be obtained by downloading, unzipping, and installing the file vb40032a.zip from the following URL:
http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html
VLECalc is installed by unzipping vlecal11.zip to a folder and then running setup.exe
