The CompOSE manual is available as a downloadable pdf file.

We welcome any feedback and recommend to regularly download the latest pdf-version.

We will announce updates only after major changes.

Major updates since version 1

The section "Online services and data handling" has been substantially revised to describe the new version of the Compose software and web site, and in particular the online tools for data handling.
Data downloading is open access and there is the possibility to subscribe to a newsletter.

Earlier versions

Two quick guides are available, summarizing briefly the information of the complete manual,

one for potential providers of EoS data
and one for users. Four examples showing how to use the CompOSE software are available from the software section and explained in this quick guide.

If you just intend to use an EoS, the package eosform.zip is of no use for you. If you intend to provide an EoS, we will happily explain the details in direct communication. This package containes a C++ code which generates a first draft of an EoS data sheet from an eos.report - file. It is thought to avoid missing or wrong entries in the data sheet. Furthermore the archive contains the data sheet template which can be used without the C++ form generator. However, we strongly recommend to use the automated form generator!
