-
- * THE INTEGRAL SCIENTIST: A hypertext style information utility for
- scientists, science educators and college or high school students.
- * COMPUTERIZED PERIODIC TABLE AND ELEMENT INFORMATION DATABASE: Over 50
- items of information on each of the elements.
- * FLASH-CARD LEARNING MODE: Helps the student study the periodic table.
- * CUSTOMIZEABLE TEXT VIEWER: Allows the user to include additional
- information for easy access.
- * UNITS CONVERSION CALCULATOR: Over 450 units of measure in 30
- categories. Enter a value and instantly convert it to any of the
- corresponding units.
- * CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS CALCULATOR: A tool with which to manipulate the
- parameters of a chemical solution and perform "what if" planning
- prior to solution preparation.
- * MOLECULAR WEIGHT CALCULATOR: Enter any chemical formula and calculate
- its molecular weight without having to look up the information in
- printed tables.
- * SOLVENT SELECTOR: Provides important data for choosing the correct
- solvent for solution preparation
- * DILUTION CALCULATOR: Eliminates mistakes when calculating and performing
- dilutions.
-
- The Integral Scientist is a hypertext style information utility for
- scientists, science educators and students. It includes a periodic table and
- element information database with over 50 items of information on each of the
- elements. There is even a flash-card mode to help the student study the
- periodic table. A customizeable text viewer allows the user to include
- additional information for easy access.
-
- For the laboratory, The Integral Scientist provides the chemist with a tool
- with which to manipulate the parameters of a chemical solution and perform
- "what if" planning prior to solution preparation. A solvent selector provides
- important data for choosing the correct solution solvent and a dilution
- calculator eliminates mistakes when performing dilutions. The user may also
- enter any chemical formula and calculate its molecular weight without having
- to look up the information in printed tables.
-
- Included in The Integral Scientist is a Units Conversion Calculator with over
- 450 units of measure in 30 categories. A unit value may be easily converted
- to any of the corresponding units. Input and output values may be transposed
- and the current input value may be scaled. The user can determine if the
- conversion is exact or approximate and can view the complete list of
- conversion factors at the press of a key. Category definitions are displayed
- when selecting the units category and the category of measure can be found
- easily by looking up an unfamiliar unit in the index.
-
- Throughout The Integral Scientist, instant help is available. Context
- sensitive help windows and full-screen help are one key away and the entire
- user's guide is available on-line and will open to the proper chapter at the
- press of a key. There is even a "map" so you won't get lost! Science has
- never been so much fun, but the information is serious.

- Installation How-To and Trouble-Shooting:
-
-
- Installing this program:
-
- Place the distribution disk in a floppy drive.
- or
- Copy the distribution files into an empty subdirectory
-
- Change to the drive or subdirectory containing the Integral Scientist files.
- Type GO-ISE
-
-
- If for some reason the above installation technique should fail, try the
- following method:
-
- For hard disk systems
-
- Copy all files into a subdirectory
- Type _ISEA then respond Y to the query.
- Repeat for _ISEB
- (_ISEA.exe and _ISEB.exe can then be removed)
-
- For floppy disk systems:
-
- Insert this disk in drive A: and a blank formatted disk in drive B:
- Copy all files except _ISEA.exe and _ISEB.exe to B:
- Type _ISEA B: and respond to the query with Y.
- Type _ISEB B: and respond to the query with Y.
