Still not perfect, it's faster for some solutions and slower for others. Beware: the "+" and "-" in the code keyword of the database are reverted to their original meaning.
In order to improve the minimization two new features were introduced:
(1) add initial guesses in the database.
EXAMPLE: (section in database)

In a single calculation with THERIAK, the result is printed in the same format and can easily be pasted into the database.
(2) scan the solution phases for a better starting value. This only applies to solutions with possibly negative endmembers. A scan with "2" can improve the minimization, but will increase the calculation time considerably.
The third number in the first line of the database defines how this scan is made:    0: no scan, 1: scan with x=1/2, 2: scan with x=1/4
EXAMPLE (first line of database):
26   0   2

install gfortran

The programs werde compiled with gfortran. Unfortunately gfortran does not produce a portable binary, because it does not include all libraries. The easiest way of getting the programs to work, is to install gfortran:

Windows:
Download the latest installer from https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries (Look for "installer")
Install the binaries for gfortran (just double-click the installer and follow the instrucions)

Mac OS X:
1) Install XCode (from apple store).
2) Download the appropriate gfortran installer https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries.
Install the binaries for gfortran (just double-click the installer and follow the instrucions)

Linux:
GFortran is inclued e.g. in Ubuntu. Type: sudo apt-get install gfortran

re-compile

To re-compile, open a Terminal (Batch window), make "Programs" the working directory and type "make all".

If you own a different compiler, you might also want to re-compile the programs.
In most cases you can edit the Makefile and type "make all"

Database tcds62c

This database includes the models of Green et al. (2016) It reproduces (more or less) Fig.2c of Green et al. (2016) Only the omphacitic clinopyroxene is included. The augitic (calcic) clinopyroxene is not yet translated.
For more databases check Doug Tinkham's collection (see below: Databases from THERMOCALC)
 Fe3+ is included
 Most models of White et al. (2014) are excluded. Adding e.g. chloritoide will completely change the phase stabilities. (The Database can not be used to predict phase assemblages without knowing which phases will be stable.)

some endmembers make the minimization very difficult: e.g. jadacm in CPXo (exclude if close to zero anyway)
In general: Endmembers with zero concentrations are cumbersome.
If Fe3+ is not needed: exclude all endmembers with F3 from the solutions.
If melts are not needed: exclude LIQtc62

Databases from THERMOCALC

The databases from THERMOCALC were translated to use with Theriak-Domino by Doug Tinkham, Professor of Metamorphic Geology at Laurentian University.
