Melting using PTpath and issues with pressure integral

I'm having some issues with Adiabat_1ph version 3. I'm trying to melt depleted mantle using a pressure/temperature path text file and I'm getting strange results. Why does the pressure integral produce melt compositions that are the same at every step (the composition is the same as the final integrated melt composition)? Also, what are the numbers highlighted in bold in the aggregate integral file? I also tried running the model without log fO2 set, but it still produced the same errors. I've probably missed something really simple or I've installed the program incorrectly. Hopefully, you can help me. Here are the input files:

Again, there must be something I'm missing about the melt integration step. Hopefully you can help. I look forward to your reply! Thanks!

Hi Nichelle,

It sounds like you are doing everything right but have run into a couple of bugs, sorry.  We discovered them last week but I just managed to track down the causes yesterday.  I am going to put up release 3.1 very soon but I'm just fixing up / adding a couple of other things first.  In the meantime, if you let me know your operating system I can send you a link to the corrected executable.

Thanks for letting us know about the problem(s).

Paula
