Abstract

A series of FORTRAN IV programs have been written to aid in qualitative x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis. These programs have been implemented on a DEC PDP 11/34 computer with an RSX-11M operating system and access the NIH elemental data base (1). The programs and their application to XRF analysis in our laboratory will be described.
