Abstract:  This collection of programs can be used alone,by producing data 
files within each program, or in conjunction with other packages in the 
library (e.g. MINFILE & TRANSFER).  The programs are stored as a self-
extracting ZIP archive MINFORM1.EXE.  MINFORM converts wt% to atomic 
stoichiometry and calculates mineral endmember components for a variety of 
minerals. NORM1 does CIPW normative calculations.  The output gives the 
normative minerals in wt% (the CIPW standard) and in mole %.QWIKFIX takes wt%
input (for the relevant oxides only), converts to mole proportions, and 
calculates simple atomic ratios for various minerals.
