The version of TYCHO from (Jan-4-2008) is here. A newer version (TYCHO7-10) is available; see the tag Stellar Evolution and Hydrodynamics Code TYCHO on my home page.

New command file for genex, (cp genex.new genex.in) is here.

To scale the abundance (which is solar in the models in the distribution), change the value of the variable 'zscale'.

For example zscale = 0.2 gives an abundance of elements heavier than helium which is one-fifth solar.

The helium abundance will scale as He4/z = 2, which is the change that supernovae are expected to cause.
