                                PHREEQC

       A program for speciation, batch-reaction, one-dimensional 
            transport, and inverse geochemical calculations

This file describes three batch versions of PHREEQC for Windows and Linux: (1) A
Windows version with a compiled executable, (2) A Windows version that has source
code that can be compiled with Visual Studio solutions that are generated by CMake,
and (3) A Linux version with source code that can be compiled by a Makefile generated
by configure. For Linux, there is no version with an executable, and compilation is
required.

No graphical user interface exists for Linux. (For Windows, a graphical user
interface, PhreeqcI, is available at
http://wwwbrr.cr.usgs.gov/projects/GWC_coupled/phreeqc/index.html and a
Notepad++ interface is available at http://www.hydrochemistry.eu/downl.html.)
