				by George Skuse



Version 2.08b (PERIOD2B.EXE)
	-Abbreviated Electron Configuration replaces electron shell
		description
	-Electronegativity, Melting, and Boiling Points
	-Printing of Periodic Table enabled, still have to code printing
		of elemental properties table
	-New Data File Format (ELEMENTS.DAT)
_________________________________________________________________________
Version 2.08a (PERIOD2A.EXE)
	-Status-type bar added to bottom of the periodic table
		duplicates the function of the Element Box
	-now requires 3DLABEL.VBX
	-ELEMENTS.DAT fixed to include corrected weights of some of
		the elements
_________________________________________________________________________
Version 2.08 (PERIODIC.EXE)
	-108 elements
	-Window Management Features Added (Cascade, Arrange, & Reset)
	-Button Face Option Added
	-interface signifcantly improved

_________________________________________________________________________
Version 1.03
	-initial version of program developed for Boston Computer Society
		Youth Compufest
	-103  elements displayed
	-Had limited window management	


There are many things I could do to improve this program if only I
had the time.  Among these are...
	-Multiple Element windows open at a time
	-pasting from the Element Properties List
	-Color coding for Alkali Metals, Earths, Halogens, ect..
	-Electron spin diagrams
	-Lewis Dot Structures
	-A traditional Help System (If I ever get a Help Compiler)
	-Allow the user to choose which properties are displayed in
		the list
	-Add History behind the Elements
	

If you have any ideas on how I could make the program better, please write
me.  Thank you for your support.
