CHEMPAC1 Version 1.10 The first in a series of chemistry programs for MS-DOS computers by John R. Duchek Ph.D. Duchek Computer Services P.O. Box 25006 St. Louis, MO 63125 (314)-544-1843 Copyright 1990-91 USER SUPPORTED PROGRAMS TABLE OF CONTENTS Shareware Information........................................2 The CHEMPAC series...........................................3 Future Products..............................................4 Additional Programs in registered version....................4 Using Periodic chart.........................................5 Using Molecular weight.(registered version)..................7 Using Formula (registered version)...........................8 Using Element handling (registered version)..................9 About the Author............................................10 Warranty....................................................10 Disclaimer..................................................10 Registration form...........................................11 SHAREWARE INFORMATION: If you find this periodic table system to be of value to you, you are Asked to pay its author $25.00. This documentation is available in pamphlet form for an additional $5.00. Send your money to: John R. Duchek Duchek Computer Services P. O. Box 25006 St. Louis, MO 63125 For this $25.00 you become a registered user. This enables me to send you information on updates or improvements in the software. In addition your contribution entitles you to the most current version of the software. You are free to make copies of the shareware version of the program (but not of the registered version). You are encouraged to share the shareware version with friends, bulletin boards and software clubs. Normal shareware distributors can charge a reasonable fee for their diskcopying and distribution services (up to $5.00). If you have been using CHEMPAC1 for over 2 months, honesty requires that you register your copy. Site Licenses The purpose of the site license is to allow a school or company to run it on as many of their computers as they wish at a given location. It is my hope that this will allow schools who would like to use multiple copies in their classrooms will be able to do so honestly without breaking their budget. The site license applies to the whole facility at a particular location on a single license, not one particular classroom. The registration price of this program is $25.00 or a site license for $125.00. ADVANTAGES OF REGISTRATION: I will correspond with registered users of the program to help with any difficulties they have running the program. Calls to discuss any problems are at the user's expense. I am generally available between 7 P.M. and 10 P.M. Central Time and would appreciate that calls be limited to these hours. Please do NOT call if you are not registered. If you are unregistered and have a question or comment, feel free to send a letter to the P.O. Box listed above. If you wish a reply please send a self-addressed stamped envelope. Three other programs are included in the registered copy. The shareware version of CHEMPAC1 includes only the periodic chart and the data file to use it. A. A file editing program to put in missing or incorrect data that they might find find in the current data file. I would appreciate being informed of any incorrect data found. B. A program which uses the periodic chart data to calculate molecular weights and percent composition given the chemical formula is given. In this program, you enter the formula and it displays it and the calculated molecular weight. C. A program which calculates the empirical and molecular formula from percent composition and approximate molecular weight. VERSION HISTORY: 1.10 Periodic chart improved with multiple pop-up data windows, stable and unstable isotope information. 1.10 Implemented startup on any element by entering "PCHART He". The program would start with Helium's data displayed. 1.00 Periodic chart with background information, and atomic radii put into shareware. Molecular weight and formula program in registered version. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS CHEMPAC1 1.10 runs on IBM compatible computers with at least 512 K of memory, 2 floppy disk drives, color monitor, and an DOS version 3.0 or above. THE CHEMPAC SERIES The CHEMPAC series of programs is being written as a help to laboratory chemists and chemistry students. The objective of the series is to provide a series of useful programs for use in the laboratory. CHEMPAC 2 Not yet released CHEMPAC 3 The 3rd member of the series is program to find solvents which meet your search parameters. This is a program I wrote a few years ago for my personal use and I am putting it out in shareware. If you have ever started to run out of ideas for a crystallization solvent or reaction solvent, this program can be very useful. The data file currently has 178 (more than 220 for the registered version) solvents which can be searched by various experimental parameters. For example, let's say you need a crystallization solvent which is miscible with water, has a boiling point between 75-100 degrees Celsius and a melting point below 0 degrees Celsius. This program would allow you to search by all of these parameters at once to get a list of usable solvents. There are 12 searchable parameters in all including name, formula, molecular weight, boiling point, melting point, dielectric constant, dipole moment, viscosity, and heat of vaporization. When you register CHEMPAC 3 for $25.00, you get a program to edit and add to the solvent database. A site license for CHEMPAC 3 is $125.00. Programs in the CHEMPAC series: CHEMPAC 1: PCHART.EXE MOLEWT.EXE * PCHART.BSV ELEMHDL.EXE * CHEMPAC1.DOC FORMULA.EXE * ELEMENT.DAT CHEMPAC 3: FINDSOLV.EXE SOLVHDL.EXE * SOLVENT.DAT SOLVPARM.BSV * * Registered version only Future products: My intentions are to create a whole series of laboratory utility programs over the next several years to do such things as calculate the strength of acids and bases, locate solvents by describing the solvent you want and predicting the outcome of such common laboratory operations such as fractional distillations and so on. As time goes on all of these will be available as shareware. If you have suggestions for particular programs, I would be glad to hear them. CHEMPAC 1 In the first member of the series, a complete periodic chart program is presented. In addition to all of the usual information given on a periodic chart, pop up windows offer ionic radii information, the discoverer and date of discovery of each element and stable and unstable isotope information. With registration, the user receives a molecular weight and percent composition program, and a empirical/molecular formula program, and a program to edit the element data file. PCHART Pchart is an easy to use, convenient to load Periodic Chart Program. 3 files are required to run it. PCHART.EXE, ELEMENT.DAT and PCHART.BSV. Type in PCHART <ENTER> and the periodic chart of elements 1-107 is displayed. When you start, Pd (Palladium) should be blinking and information on Pd should be displayed. ┌──────────────────────┐ ╔════════════════════════════════════════════╗ │ Alkali Metals ██ │ ║ Copyright 1990-91, John R.

DCS Shareware Offerings: Duchek Computer Services has the following shareware programs available. Documentation files are on-disk for all the programs. The written documentation are provided in pamphlet form. COINFILE A complete coin inventory system for the coin collector. It has been designed by a coin collector it inventory his own collections for insurance purposes. It will keep accurate records of the date, mint, condition, cost, purchase date, and purchase price for each coin in each of your collections. Reports can be printed on any of these items. In addition printouts for insurance purposes, want lists, and check-off lists for inventorying collections, and stick-on labels for the coins are provided. Runs on both monochrome and color systems that are 100% IBM compatible. An automatic installation program is included. All want files are included on registration (3 in shareware version). Registration price: $30.00 (add $5.00 for printed documentation). BUCKFILE This companion program to COINFILE is a complete inventory system for the currency collector. Based on the same philosophy as the coin program, it allows you to keep separate collections of each denomination and type so that all of your $1 silver certificates would be grouped together and your $1 federal reserve notes would comprise another. It keeps accurate record of the date (as 1975 or 1975A), signatures, seal/description, serial number, condition, are kept track of. Want lists and a complete selection of other reports can be generated. Runs on both monochrome and color systems that are 100% IBM compatible. An automatic installation program is included. All want files are included on registration. (3 in shareware version.) Registration price: $45.00 (add $5.00 for printed documentation). CALENDAR This is a simple elegant calendar program which runs form your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. It is an easy to use planning. It displays a monthly calendar with the events of the week highlighted. I tis possible to enter the data in a variety of ways including any combination of months, weeks or even "the 3rd Monday of the month". You can also use it as an appointment program. Registration price: $15.00 (add $5.00 for printed documentation). ADDRESS BOOK This is an address book and Label Maker for small organizations. (Up to 2000 names). Each file can subdivide members into up to 26 categories and print these sub-groups separately. Intelligent interactions are stressed to minimize the strain of data input. Zipcode sorting and sub-sorting are supported. DCS has used this program for over 6 years for our mailing label service for local organizations. Registration price: $25.00 (add $5.00 for printed documention). CHEMPAC 1 A full color extensive on screen periodic chart of the elements. Pop-up windows display addtional information on atomic radii, origins, and isotopes of each element. Arrow keys move you from element to element, or simply start the program at the element you are interested in. PCHART Hg<CR> will start the program on Mercury. Upon registration you also get Molecular Weight/Percent Composition and Empirical/Molecular Formula programs, along with a program to edit the ELEMENT.DAT file in case you find an error or wish a correction in a piece of data. Requires a color monitor. Registration price $25.00 (add $5.00 for printed documentation.) CHEMPAC 3 This solvent finding program allows you to search through a database of solvents to find those with the properties you want. Searchable properties (maximum and minimum) include boiling and melting points, dielectric constants, viscosity, partial and whole formulas and names, refractive index, molecular weight, water solubility and flash point. A must for laboratory workers! Requires a color monitor. Registration price $25.00 (add $5.00 for printed documentation). TIMER TIMER consists of 2 programs - Timer and Stopwtch. Timer is a count-down to an alarm. It can count for 24 hours if needed, but I use it in lab operations to time 15 minutes of stirring or whatever. The digital countdown on the screen is visible from at least 20 feet away. Requires a color monitor. Stopwtch is a stopwatch program accurate to 0.1 seconds and has 9 lap counters available. Requires a color monitor. Registration price (for both): $10. No written documention available (Simple instructions on disk).
