Versions:
- Added User defined XYZ ternary chart, so that User can define elements for the ternary, as well
factors. Elements are chosen by inputing row letter in left column of box
2 - Change to magnesium ion correction at R<5 to correct for error in equasion. Error caused tempe
to be 2 deg C too great
-Added row to top of input sheet to accommodate User Defined XYZ ternary
-Fixed cell address of Sample Name in Report page, due to added row at top of Input page

-Corrected R>5 equation for NaKCa Mg ion correction to equation in Fournier & Potter 1979 GCA
-Added column for steam fraction, so that well samples can be corrected for steam loss. This corr
to geothermometer values, geothermometer plots and chloride enthalpy plot. If steam fraction is l
value is assumed and no correction is applied. No correction is made to isotope data
-The steam fraction correction is made by multiplying the sample concentration by the liquid fractio
complement (1-X) of the steam fraction. Samples with an excess steam correction can be correct
3 the complement of the liquid correction factor for the value of steam fraction
3
-Added enthalpy-chloride plot for discharge enthalpy, sheet "XClHdisch"
-Added solubilities for alpha & beta cristobalite and amorphous silica to Xkms plot
-Added Piper (Trilinear) Plot in sheet "Piper". Data are plotted as milliequivalents/litre, not ppm. L
cropped by decreasing box size. Separation of plot fields can be increased by changing spacing i
above charge balance
-Added alpha & beta cristobalite and additional Na/K geothermometers to "Report" sheet.
