Abstract
A package of FORTRAN IV programs is used to process routine analyses of silicates, sulfides, oxides, and carbonates, following an empirical correction procedure. This approach has two important advantages; (1) computing costs are minimal, and (2) persons who lack experience with the probe or computer have been able to use the package effectively. Various options have been built into the package to give it the flexibility needed by a variety of users with differing objectives. The options include calculations of mole and weight-percent oxides or end members, construction of triangular diagrams, and use of a differing background correction for inhomogeneous minerals.
