- 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.
- Look for Elements II to be published soon by Softdisk Publishing, Inc,
- featuring extend-selected elements with pop-up bonding information (common
- bond geometries and percent ionic bond between the two), row and column
- information windows describing the rows and element groups, a non-interlace
- switch (reduces resolution, but gets rid of the flicker), an instruction
- window callable from a menu or the "HELP" key - (yes, I use the help key,
- everyone else out there writing programs, it's RAWKEY code 0x5F, guys!), and
- a test mode that pops up a window that asks you questions about the section
- you select (works with elements, groups, and rows).
- Enjoy.
