About the Program:

The popular shareware package of ZAF/PRZ X-ray correction programs has been ported from the BASIC PC version to a C language version on the MacIntosh by Paul Carpenter.  This BETA release of Citzaf on the Macintosh is written in Think C, as a minimal Macintosh application.  It uses a console window interface for input and output, similar to the PC version.  Development has been a time-consuming procedure, with emphasis on numerical stability and accurate results rather than user-friendly aspects.  At this time there are no hookups to menus, dialogs, or other Mac interface items.  This will be added at the appropriate time.  The program currently requires 650k of RAM to operate.  If you 
change the amount of memory used by the program under multifinder to be less than 650k, the program will crash.  Increasing the memory to be larger than 650k does not actually change the amount of memory that the program uses.  Currently we allocate memory for 30 elements total (hence the 650k), and just use what we need.  Dynamic memory allocation is partially installed.
