Re: Bug for llnl.dat database?

[Brian Marshall <bdmarsha@xxxxxxxx>]

If you are going to use llnl.dat which has an _enormous_ list of 
minerals and species, you will need to change the default memory 
allocation for PHREEQC 2.5. Find the actual application file in the 
"prog" folder, select it, and then select File->Get Info->Memory. 
There, you can change the memory allocated to the program from ~2000 
kb to ~4000 kb. If you have plenty of RAM, change it to ~8000 kb, 
just in case. At least the application quit gracefully! In the 
future, we will add a note in the readme file regarding memory 
allocation.
