[S/Fe]
[Cl/Fe] This form lets the user specify a chemical mixture in bracket notation and then calculates mass fractions X, Y, and Z according to three published standard mixtures.
[Ar/Fe] Helium mass fraction (Y) stays at the standard solar value unless the user changes it to something nonzero.
[K/Fe] Remember, X + Y + Z = 1.
[Ca/Fe] Disclaimer: We didn't program much error-checking, so be wary of garbage in - garbage out problems.
