Spana and DataBase are Java programs written by I.Puigdomenech. These programs are modified versions of earlier software (MEDUSA, HYDRA and INPUT-SED-PREDOM) that were developed in MicroSoft’s Visual Basic 6 at the Dept. of Inorganic Chemistry, Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden.

The INPUT-SED-PREDOM programs (written in FORTRAN) were reported in:

Some parts of these computer codes have their origin in the work of other programmers. For example some plotting ideas were taken from the SOLGASWATER code, and the chemical equilibrium compositions are calculated with the HALTAFALL algorithm.

DataBase (formerly HYDRA) was inspired on a program & database (for MS-DOS) created by Mingsheng Wang, and Mamoun Muhammed, both at Materials Chemistry, KTH. Moreover, ideas have been taken from a prototype program by Dr Andrey Zagorodny (also from Materials Chemistry, KTH).

The following persons have contributed with ideas, suggestions and/or programming code: Johan Blixt (KTH), Gunnar Eriksson (Umeå Universitet, author of SOLGASWATER), Ingmar Grenthe (KTH), Sven-Olof Pettersson (Studsvik), Joachim Zeising (KTH). Many thanks are due to the chemistry teaching staff at KTH: Joan Lind, Gabor Merenyi, Olle Wahlberg, Tom Wallin, Mats Jansson, Märtha Åberg, and many others.
