"Elements" Periodic Table of the Elements release history
To run "Elements", do one of the following:
1) Change the default directory to the one that "Elements" and the Data and
Fonts directories are in ("CD Elements"). Type "Execute Elements_II".
2) From the Workbench, double-click on the "Elements_II" icon.

This is version 1.2, an update to the one originally sent to Fred Fish. It
loads faster and takes up less disk space due to the data files being
converted to binary format. A tiny bug in the radioactive isotopes window
has been fixed too.
It now allows more than one element to be opened at once, as well as any of
the Info windows. This now makes close comparisons of more than one element
possible. There is no limit to the number of element windows opened at once
(except by CHIP RAM), but the screen tends to fill quickly with those
windows, so any more than four at once would seem unnecessary.
If there are any new releases, rest assured that they will be much smaller,
because Lattice v5.0 is on its way!

This is version 1.2a, an update to the update, with one minor bug in the
element selection routine fixed, a "Quit" menu option and no CLOSE gadget
on the main window (to avoid confusion - some people quit the program by
accident), a slightly enhanced color map, and row indicators. It's also
now compiled under Lattice "C" v5.02, and much smaller and slightly faster.
12-19-89 RELEASE
This is version 1.3, adding non-interlace mode (by request - flicker really
doesn't bother me, but thanks to those of you that wrote and asked for it!)
and extend-selection of two elements which details some bonding information
about the two elements. Check out the Instructions window from the menu (or
press the HELP key - novel idea, eh? It's RAWKEY code 0x5F guys, to those of
you that don't use it!).
Enjoy. - Paul
07-04-90 RELEASE
Version 2.0, adding row/column information by clicking on the row/column
indicators. Also a test mode, where clicking on an elements or row/column
indicator will bring up a window asking some questions about the item. Always
the same questions, and doesn't keep score (just shows you the correct answer
after you try yours) - not very elaborate, but tests you none-the-less!
Originally licensed to SoftDisk Publishing, when they were going to do an
Amiga version of their SoftDisk. They decided to hold the Amiga project (they
are big on IBMs and Macs), so I get to do what I want with this version - so
here it is!
"Share and Enjoy." - Paul
