- Atoms, Symbols and Equations v 2.1 ⌐Ray Le Couteur 1996-1999
-
- 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). There are 8 teaching
- units which gradually build up Chemical knowledge from the very beginning. Concepts
- are simplified in the early units and explained in more detail later in the
- program.
-
- 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 running
- the program 'options.exe'(click on the 'Change Options' icon in the 'Atoms
- Symbols & Equations' group or folder).
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
- Almost any computer running Windows 3.1/95/98 (PC 386 or above, 4mb ram,
- vga/svga monitor).
-
- INSTALLATION
- Unzip, if necessary, and run 'Setup' and follow simple on-screen instructions.
- In the case of the self extracting version, simply run 'chemxa20.exe' 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 sure that vbrun300.dll
- is already on your system, you can safely delete the copy in 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 icon should not be available to network users.
-
- UNINSTALL
- Simply click on the uninstall icon to remove 'Atoms, Symbols and Equations'
- from your system.
-
- 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. Select the 'equations' icon to run the program.
-
- YEAR 2000
