written by Marc Gumpinger, gumpinger@kagi.com.

This Read Me contains information about installing and using the Periodic Chart of the Elements (PCE).







Installation



Use you standard Newton Conection Kit or Newton Package Installer to download the package to your Newton. In case any error occurs during the download, please consult the respective manual.

You can remove this package just like any other package on your Newton. The internal name for this package is: PCE:GUMPINGER. 







Location of the downloaded package



The PCE will automatically be added to your formulas inside the Extras drawer. You can easily locate the formulas from their symbol which contains a little percentage sign.

Tap onto that very icon to open the formulas and locate the entry RPeriodic Chart of the ElementsS which should occur at the very buttom of the overview. Tap onto that overview line and the formula slip will open.







Using the PCE



The PCE formula slip enables you to easily find an element from the chart and quickly access its data.

This is the initial view of the PCE formula slip:

                                                                                                          Language Settings







                     Detail Frame















                                Table























You have three choices of how to find an element. First of all you can tap onto an element button in the chart. The button gets hilited and the corresponding information is displayed in the detail frame. Secondly you may directly write the name of the desired element into the Element line or thirdly write the elementUs symbol into the Atomic Symbol line. If you choose to write, the element will automatically be hilited in the chart. So no matter what method you choose you will always find the PCE to look something like this:



J





















































As you can see from the two radio buttons in the upper right part, this PCE is bilingual. Simply tap the RDS Button (which stands for RDeutschS) to find the entire PCE in German. You donUt even have to search the element againQeverything stays as it was:



J





















































In case you want to see information about a neighbour of a selected Atom just tap into the lower left or right corner within the detail frame.







Legend:

s	-> sublimated

p ->	under pressure

If an atomic symbol is displayed in outline font all its isotopes are radioactive.







In fact this tiny utility should be pretty much bullet proof. In case, however, you encounter any strange behaviour please contact me. My Internet address is: gumpinger@kagi.com.

Please do not use the PCE unless you agree to the terms mentioned under RDisclaimerS below.







Registration



The PCE for the Newton is Shareware. This means that you may spread the original archive as far as you want as long as you donUt change it. If you like a shareware product you should really register it.

As for my product I didnUt want to cripple itQso even without being registered you have full access to all features. I belive in your honesty and think you *will* register it anyway!

Registering the PCE for the Newton is first of all very cheapQitUs only $10Qand its very simple to accomplish:

There are two ways of registering:

First you can use the RRegisterS-Software that comes with this package. Register enables you to easily and quickly fill out a registration form and have it saved so that you can eMail it or printed so that you can fax it to Kagi Shareware.

If youUre on CompuServe you also have the option to switch to the Shareware Registration Service (GO SWREG). There youUll have to search for this package jot down its ID and register itQthatUs all.



Registration is all that simple!
