-
- README.TXT file for Periodic Table v3.0b - SWREG #5289
-
- ----------------------------------------
-
- 3.0b is a minor bug fix. It fixes a resource leak. It is free to any
- registered 3.x user. Contact SMI at the phone number or address below
- for details.
-
- 3.0a is a minor bug fix. It fixes two minor printing problems.
-
- Features
-
- 3.0 is a major release of Periodic Table. It adds significant new
- funtionality.
-
- * New data items have been added: Modulus of elasticity, Coefficient of
- thermal expansion, valence, ionic radius, and three user fields which
- the user can use to store any other data.
-
- * The Decay trees have been changed to make them clearer and more easily
- followed. You can also get the decay energy information on a decay by
- double-clicking on a nuclide on the decay window. The data window is
- now tabbed so you can very easily switch from one data section to
- another. The element property dialog has been enhanced to allow
- graphing the property and adding addional properties to the graph.
-
- * A molecular weight calculator has been added.
-
- * An Atomic % to Weight % converter has been added.
-
- * A radioactive dose rate estimator has been added.
-
- * Periodic Table now has a tool bar and a status bar.
-
- * Context sensitive help has been added throughout the program.
-
- * Legends now stay put and their position is remembered between
- sessions.
-
- * The main window now remembers its position and size from one session
- to the next.
-
- * Three different group name standards are now supported and can be set
- by the user.
-
- * The font used by the decay trees can also be set by the user.
-
- With the above changes Periodic Table continues to be the premere
- periodic table utility on the market. Most of these enhancements were
- suggested by users. Please keep those suggestions coming in!

- Periodic Table is designed for use by individuals ranging from students
- of chemistry, chemistry hobbyists, industry professionals, and academic
- researchers as well as instructors of chemistry. Periodic Table
- provides comprehensive and detailed element information ranging from
- atomic number to thermal conductivity. It also provides information on
- over 890 isotopes of the 110 elements, including abundance, half-life
- and decay mode. Periodic Table supports the use of the Windows
- clipboard to aid in using the information in presentations, school
- homework, and technical documents. Periodic Table also allows you to
- print much of its data.
-
- This version of Periodic Table requires at least Windows 3.1. If it is
- installed on a Windows 3.0 system, it will not run. Additionally, if you
- DO NOT run Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, or Windows NT, you will
- need to be sure to run SHARE.EXE prior to starting Windows.
-
- Registered users of any prior 2.x version may upgrade for a small fee by
- calling SMI at (918)241-2301. All orders will be charged a $3.50
- shipping and handling fee. Other users see ORDER.TXT for ordering
- information.
