With a lot of these products the money is made by selling the
training and not the program so I expect you would have to go
on the training course to work out how good it is.

Subject: RBCA Toolkit for Chemical Releases
I have recently obtained a copy of the above for
evaluation
purposes. While it is simple to input figures and the
output is
reasonably easy to understand, how the program gets from
input to
output is a mystery with no real indication given under
the help
command.
I have only had two weeks to evaluate this program. A
search on
the internet did not provide any useful information and
there is
no time to purchase the ASTM code on RBCA, which may not
help in
any case.
Can anyone help with the following:
Do many use this toolkit or RBCA criteria on a regular
basis?
How applicable is this to UK practice?
Where on can I find information on the algorithms and
formulae used in
calculating the results?
Why is lead not included in the list of contaminants in
the toolkit (at
least it is not in the evaluation copy I have been
sent)?
Is it possible to change the default values to reflect
UK practice more
closely?
Is the manual you get when you buy the program just a
reiteration of the
help command or is it useful?
I have until the 19 September to complete my evaluation
of this product and
any help on the above would be most appreciated.
