ReadMe Periodic Table
by Tom Egan
Date December 31, 1998

	I hope the interface is self explanatory but just in case it baffles 
anyone, click on any of the symbols for the elements, and a window should pop up 
with information on that element.  

	I wrote this program to parallel the Periodic Table applications for
MacOS and well that other monstrosity.  I however will keep my application as
freeware in the belief that charging money for information available at a 
public library is well backwards.  I also wrote this partially as a learning 
experience so there is likely that there may be some bug I missed, So I will 
state very plainly use at your own risk, I am not responsible for what Periodic
Table does to your computer.  I have however made efforts to test this software
and fix any bugs I could find.  Should you run into any problems, please let me
know (email tegan@bucknell.edu) so I can fix them. 

Enjoy
