The ESTA program suite provides a wide range of facilities for
equilibrium simulation and titration analysis.
 
Consult the index for specific details on the following programs.
 
   ESTA0  - Gran function analysis
   ESTA1  - Titration simulation and pointwise analysis
   ESTA2B - Global optimisation of titration parameters
   ESTA3B - Monte Carlo error analysis
   ESTA7  - Error imposition module
 
The ESTA programs were developed prior to JESS coding protocols (it
was our experience with ESTA that proved the need and pointed the
way for many of the approaches we have taken in developing JESS.)
For this reason the ESTA programs do not fully conform with the
rest of JESS and sometimes behave idiosyncratically. However, the
ESTA code is now very well tested and, thus, we think reliable.
It is included in the JESS package because we find that it is still
very useful. It is appropriate to use ESTA for simulating and
analysing the potentiometric properties of well controlled laboratory
solutions.
 
The key is for you to try first in an empty folder by copying
one or more of the *.EST files from ..GLOBAL\DEVTST as examples.
 
With a properly named file, you simply enter, for instance,
'ESTA1 filename' (no quotes and without file extension).
You can get the output sent to a file (cf displayed at VDU),
necessary since ESTA utilised the full 132 characters then
available on line printers! Finally, you need to prepare your
own input file(s) following the examples as templates and the
instructions in the maual.
