SHAREWARE INFORMATION:
If you find this periodic table system to be of value to you,
you are Asked to pay its author $25.00. This documentation is
available in pamphlet form for an additional $5.00. Send your money
to:
John R. Duchek
Duchek Computer Services
P. O. Box 25006
St. Louis, MO 63125
For this $25.00 you become a registered user. This enables me to
send you information on updates or improvements in the software.
In addition your contribution entitles you to the most current
version of the software. You are free to make copies of the
shareware version of the program (but not of the registered
version). You are encouraged to share the shareware version with
friends, bulletin boards and software clubs. Normal shareware
distributors can charge a reasonable fee for their diskcopying and
distribution services (up to $5.00). If you have been using
CHEMPAC1 for over 2 months, honesty requires that you register
your copy.
Site Licenses
The purpose of the site license is to allow a school or company
to run it on as many of their computers as they wish at a given
location. It is my hope that this will allow schools who would like
to use multiple copies in their classrooms will be able to do so
honestly without breaking their budget. The site license applies
to the whole facility at a particular location on a single license,
not one particular classroom.
The registration price of this program is $25.00 or a site
license for $125.00.
ADVANTAGES OF REGISTRATION:
I will correspond with registered users of the program to
help with any difficulties they have running the program. Calls to
discuss any problems are at the user's expense. I am generally
available between 7 P.M. and 10 P.M. Central Time and would
appreciate that calls be limited to these hours. Please do NOT call
if you are not registered.
If you are unregistered and have a question or comment, feel free
to send a letter to the P.O. Box listed above. If you wish a reply
please send a self-addressed stamped envelope.
Three other programs are included in the registered copy. The
shareware version of CHEMPAC1 includes only the periodic chart and
the data file to use it.
A. A file editing program to put in missing or incorrect data that
they might find find in the current data file. I would appreciate
being informed of any incorrect data found.
B. A program which uses the periodic chart data to calculate molecular
weights and percent composition given the chemical formula is given.
In this program, you enter the formula and it displays it and the
calculated molecular weight.
C. A program which calculates the empirical and molecular formula from
percent composition and approximate molecular weight.
VERSION HISTORY:
1.10 Periodic chart improved with multiple pop-up data windows, stable
and unstable isotope information.
1.10 Implemented startup on any element by entering "PCHART He". The
program would start with Helium's data displayed.
1.00 Periodic chart with background information, and atomic radii put
into shareware. Molecular weight and formula program in registered
version.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
CHEMPAC1 1.10 runs on IBM compatible computers with at least
512 K of memory, 2 floppy disk drives, color monitor, and an DOS
version 3.0 or above.
THE CHEMPAC SERIES
The CHEMPAC series of programs is being written as a help to
laboratory chemists and chemistry students. The objective of the
series is to provide a series of useful programs for use in the
laboratory.
CHEMPAC 2
Not yet released
CHEMPAC 3
The 3rd member of the series is program to find solvents which
meet your search parameters. This is a program I wrote a few years ago
for my personal use and I am putting it out in shareware. If you have
ever started to run out of ideas for a crystallization solvent or
reaction solvent, this program can be very useful. The data file
currently has 178 (more than 220 for the registered version) solvents
which can be searched by various experimental parameters. For
example, let's say you need a crystallization solvent which
is miscible with water, has a boiling point between 75-100
degrees Celsius and a melting point below 0 degrees Celsius. This
program would allow you to search by all of these parameters at once
to get a list of usable solvents. There are 12 searchable
parameters in all including name, formula, molecular weight,
boiling point, melting point, dielectric constant, dipole moment,
viscosity, and heat of vaporization. When you register CHEMPAC 3 for
$25.00, you get a program to edit and add to the solvent database. A
site license for CHEMPAC 3 is $125.00.
Programs in the CHEMPAC series:
CHEMPAC 1:
PCHART.EXE MOLEWT.EXE *
PCHART.BSV ELEMHDL.EXE *
CHEMPAC1.DOC FORMULA.EXE *
ELEMENT.DAT
CHEMPAC 3:
FINDSOLV.EXE SOLVHDL.EXE *
SOLVENT.DAT SOLVPARM.BSV *
* Registered version only
Future products:
My intentions are to create a whole series of laboratory utility
programs over the next several years to do such things as calculate
the strength of acids and bases, locate solvents by describing the
solvent you want and predicting the outcome of such common laboratory
operations such as fractional distillations and so on. As time goes
on all of these will be available as shareware. If you have
suggestions for particular programs, I would be glad to hear them.
CHEMPAC 1
In the first member of the series, a complete periodic chart
program is presented. In addition to all of the usual information
given on a periodic chart, pop up windows offer ionic radii
information, the discoverer and date of discovery of each element and
stable and unstable isotope information. With registration, the user
receives a molecular weight and percent composition program, and
a empirical/molecular formula program, and a program to edit the
element data file.
PCHART
Pchart is an easy to use, convenient to load Periodic Chart
Program. 3 files are required to run it. PCHART.EXE, ELEMENT.DAT and
PCHART.BSV. Type in PCHART <ENTER> and the periodic chart of
elements 1-107 is displayed. When you start, Pd (Palladium) should
be blinking and information on Pd should be displayed.

PROGRAMS IN THE REGISTERED VERSION
MOLEWT.EXE
The molecular weight program is extremely easy to use. When you
run MOLEWT. it will start by asking you for the compound's name.
After you enter a name, it will ask you for the chemical formula of
the compound. Notice that the CAPS LOCK key will come on and you will
have to press Shift for the lower case letters. This is more
convenient since all of the elements start with upper case letters.
Type the formula in as you would write it out -- CH4 for methane,
or H2O for water.

menu. By entering 'END' as the compound name you will be returned
to DOS.
FORMULA.EXE
The formula program works in the opposite way. If you
have percent composition on a compound, you can put it in and obtain
an empirical formula. If you have an approximate molecular weight,
the computer will "guess" at the molecular weight of the
compound.
In the initial menu, you are asked for the sample name and how
many elements in the formula.

GIVE CHEMICAL SYMBOL, AND % IN COMPOUND (Cl,32.4):? C,75
GIVE CHEMICAL SYMBOL, AND % IN COMPOUND (Cl,32.4):? H,25
Approximate Molecular Weight: ? 14
The program then prompts you to give it the element's symbol
followed by the weight percent of that element in the compound.
Lastly it asks for an approximate molecular weight so that it can
guess at the molecular formula.

The results of the calculation for methane are shown above. As
you can see, the program reports an empirical formula, molecular
formula and the difference between its guess of the molecular
formula and your approximate value.
ELEMHDL.EXE
Hopefully you will never use this program. The Elemhdl program
allows you to edit the element data in the file. Normally this should
not be necessary, but if you find an error in the data, this
program allows you to correct it immediately. I would certainly
appreciate being informed of the error so that I may correct it on
the master copy also.

DCS Shareware Offerings:
Duchek Computer Services has the following shareware programs
available. Documentation files are on-disk for all the programs. The
written documentation are provided in pamphlet form.
COINFILE
A complete coin inventory system for the coin collector. It has
been designed by a coin collector it inventory his own collections for
insurance purposes. It will keep accurate records of the date, mint,
condition, cost, purchase date, and purchase price for each coin in
each of your collections. Reports can be printed on any of these
items. In addition printouts for insurance purposes, want lists, and
check-off lists for inventorying collections, and stick-on labels for
the coins are provided. Runs on both monochrome and color systems
that are 100% IBM compatible. An automatic installation program is
included. All want files are included on registration (3 in shareware
version). Registration price: $30.00 (add $5.00 for printed
documentation).
BUCKFILE
This companion program to COINFILE is a complete inventory system
for the currency collector. Based on the same philosophy as the coin
program, it allows you to keep separate collections of each
denomination and type so that all of your $1 silver certificates would
be grouped together and your $1 federal reserve notes would comprise
another. It keeps accurate record of the date (as 1975 or 1975A),
signatures, seal/description, serial number, condition, are kept track
of. Want lists and a complete selection of other reports can be
generated. Runs on both monochrome and color systems that are 100%
IBM compatible. An automatic installation program is included. All
want files are included on registration. (3 in shareware version.)
Registration price: $45.00 (add $5.00 for printed documentation).
CALENDAR
This is a simple elegant calendar program which runs form your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. It is an easy to use planning. It displays a
monthly calendar with the events of the week highlighted. I tis
possible to enter the data in a variety of ways including any
combination of months, weeks or even "the 3rd Monday of the month".
You can also use it as an appointment program. Registration price:
$15.00 (add $5.00 for printed documentation).
ADDRESS BOOK
This is an address book and Label Maker for small organizations.
(Up to 2000 names). Each file can subdivide members into up to 26
categories and print these sub-groups separately. Intelligent
interactions are stressed to minimize the strain of data input.
Zipcode sorting and sub-sorting are supported. DCS has used this
program for over 6 years for our mailing label service for local
organizations. Registration price: $25.00 (add $5.00 for printed
documention).
CHEMPAC 1
A full color extensive on screen periodic chart of the elements.
Pop-up windows display addtional information on atomic radii, origins,
and isotopes of each element. Arrow keys move you from element to
element, or simply start the program at the element you are interested
in. PCHART Hg<CR> will start the program on Mercury. Upon
registration you also get Molecular Weight/Percent Composition and
Empirical/Molecular Formula programs, along with a program to edit the
ELEMENT.DAT file in case you find an error or wish a correction in a
piece of data. Requires a color monitor. Registration price $25.00
(add $5.00 for printed documentation.)
CHEMPAC 3
This solvent finding program allows you to search through a
database of solvents to find those with the properties you want.
Searchable properties (maximum and minimum) include boiling and
melting points, dielectric constants, viscosity, partial and whole
formulas and names, refractive index, molecular weight, water
solubility and flash point. A must for laboratory workers! Requires
a color monitor. Registration price $25.00 (add $5.00 for printed
documentation).
TIMER
TIMER consists of 2 programs - Timer and Stopwtch. Timer is a
count-down to an alarm. It can count for 24 hours if needed, but I
use it in lab operations to time 15 minutes of stirring or whatever.
The digital countdown on the screen is visible from at least 20 feet
away. Requires a color monitor.
Stopwtch is a stopwatch program accurate to 0.1 seconds and has 9
lap counters available. Requires a color monitor. Registration price
(for both): $10. No written documention available (Simple
instructions on disk).
