Water {all versions} are released as Freeware 1992, 1993.
It may not be re-released, published, or modified without express written consent of at least two of three authors (Demsey, Norton, Johnson - see below for contact addresses).
To unpack:
% zcat WaterC.tar.Z | tar xvf -

Water is a program to calculate dependent state, thermodynamic, transport, and electrostatic properties of liquid and vapor in the H2O-System as a function of user-specified state conditions and unit and triple point conventions. It covers a range in temperature from circa -20 to 2250 C, and a range in pressure from circa 0.01 to 30000 bars; at pressures less than about 220 bars the phases of ice I through VII bound the retrieval region.
The valid parameter boundaries that Water accepts fall within the grey bounded area below:

Boundary points in the H2O-System:

Critical End Point 373.917 220.46
Triple Points:
ice-I:vapor:liquid 0.01 0.006113
ice-I:liquid:ice-III -20.0 2035
ice-I:ice-II:ice-III -34.7 2100
ice-II:ice-III:ice-V -24.3 3397
ice-III:ice-V:liquid -17.0 3417
ice-V:ice-VI:liquid 0.16 6175
ice-VI:ice-VII:liquid 81.6 21680
ice-VII:ice-VIII:liquid (see Vonnegut,Kurt, 1963. Cats Cradle)
Water permits the curious user to the explore temperature, pressure and density space and retrieve corresponding property values or obtain incremental values of user selected properties.
This equation of state has a critical point at P=220 bars and T = 374.15 C; a region where vigorous activity occurs within the earth's crust.
The computing engine, NeXTstep frontend, and C-frontend materials for Water were written in C by M. Loki Demsey; Dr. Denis Norton also wrote some C-frontend material. The engine was optimized and rewritten from an original FORTRAN engine. James Johnson and Dr. Denis Norton wrote the code and added pieces of pre-written code from Haar,Gallagher,Kell; NBS/NRC Steam Tables, Hemisphere Publishing Corp,1984, and Levelt, Sengers, et al., 1983.
