Welcome to MarChemSpec (Seawater Model)
---------------------------------------

This is how to get started:


1. When you have extracted the files from this archive the directory (folder) above 
   this one will be your working directory. It contains the MCS program, and its 
   input and output files.

2. Read the List_of_files document, which is in the same directory as this file, so 
   that you understand what the different files are.

3. Open the manual (MCS_sea_manual_{version}), which is in the same directory as this file, and
   read the section "Installing MARCHEMSPEC", to make sure you have done everything
   correctly.

4. Read the section "Quick Start" in the manual to carry out your first calculation.
   The results files already present in the working directory are for the 
   calculation described in this section of the manual. Running the model again will
   overwrite them (which is OK). 

5. Instructions on how to use the new features introduced at version 1.1 (equilibrating
   to fixed values of the seawater state parameters) can be found in the 
   MCS_sea_supplement_{version} document.
