Atoms, Symbols and Equations v 2.0 ⌐Ray Le Couteur 1996-1998
SHAREWARE
Atoms, Symbols and Equations is Shareware ('try before you buy software'). If you
wish to continue using it after a 30 day trial, you must register (pay for) it.
OVERVIEW
A unique interactive Multimedia Chemistry Tutor which tests students as they learn
(it uses the internal speaker if you don't have a soundcard). As far as possible,
skills are taught through familiar examples, to help reinforce general chemical
knowledge. New concepts are taught by frequent reference to the online Periodic
Tables. The eight units are: Word Equations; Elements and Symbols; Valency
and Formulas; Models of Reacting Molecules (molecular models); Symbol Equations;
Atomic Structure; Formation of Ions; Ions, Formulas and Equations.
OPTIONS
There is an option to 'trap' the user within a unit once started (to help
teachers ensure that pupils stay on task), with a password required to exit.
The decision whether to trap users and the password can be changed by clicking
the 'Change Options' icon in the 'Atoms, Symbols & Equations' group or folder.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Almost any computer running Windows 3.1/95/98 (PC, 4mb ram, vga/svga monitor).
INSTALLATION
Unzip, if necessary, run 'Setup' and follow on-screen instructions.
In the case of the self extracting version, simply run 'chemxa20' instead.
Note: the shared file, vbrun300.dll, is installed into the program
folder/directory (c:\equation by default). This avoids conflicts during
uninstallation and makes installation over a network more straightforward.
If you are certain that vbrun300.dll is already on your system, you can safely
delete it from the program folder/directory.
NETWORK INSTALLATION
Installation should be carried out by the network administrator and should
be very easy, as all required files are installed into the single program
directory. However, security measures can prevent files being installed or
the installation of icons in the programs menu.
The 'Uninstall' and 'Change Options' icons should not be available to network users.
RUNNING THE PROGRAM
Win 3.1
Click on the 'equations' icon in the 'Atoms Symbols & Equations' group which will
be on your desktop.
Win95/98
From the start menu, select programs and then the 'Atoms Symbols & Equations' folder.
Then select the 'equations' icon to run the program.
YEAR 2000
The program has been tested for Year 2000 compliancy.
WHAT'S NEW FOR VERSION 2.0?
1. Answers now available to most questions.
2. Printable certificate available at the end of each unit.
3. New element symbols game.
4. More detailed Periodic Tables.
5. Automatic uninstall now included.
UNINSTALL
Simply click on the uninstall icon to remove 'Atoms, Symbols and Equations'
from your system.
