ChemProject is a program for the evaluation of a chemical synthesis in terms of material amounts and their costs, featuring a highly intuitive graphical interface. A synthesis can consist of a main branch and up to 15 connected branches. Data are analyzed for process efficiency according to a wide selection of criteria. Material prices may conveniently be imported from customizable and freely combinable price lists. A variety of detailed, carefully designed print reports is provided (the demo-version allows previews only).
System requirements
It is strongly suggested to run ChemProject on 68040 based Macs and PowerMacs. It also runs on 68030 based Macs, but you will need a lot of patience for calculations and interface responses.
The minimum hardware requirements are:
• Mac LC III or higher (68040 processor or PowerMac recommended).
• System 7.01 or higher.
• 4.5 MB free RAM (8 MB on PowerMacs; 4 MB with virtual memory or RAM Doubler on).
• 6 MB free hard disk space.
• 14'' screen (640x480 pixel) or larger.
Version History
Changes since version 1.1
• A number of inferface bugs removed: highly improved overall robustness of the program.
• The native PowerMac version now runs flawlessly in the presence of RAM Doubler.
• No more installation procedures required, since ChemProject now is independent from "FoxTools" and "Apple Shared Library Manager". This also makes it more resistant against future MacOS upgrades.
• Revised manual.
Changes since version 1.0
• Added the "App.Cleaning" operation to take into account time & material resources for apparatus cleaning in large scale productions.
• Exchanged the "reaction time" parameters in the analyses against the more general "operation time", which considers ALL operation times.
• Removed the PPC version because of a serious incompatibility with the widely used RAM Doubler from Connectix.
