ATOMS, BONDING AND STRUCTURE v 1.0   © copyright Ray Le Couteur 1997-1998

SHAREWARE
Atoms, Bonding and Structure 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: Elements, Compounds and Mixtures; Forming Compounds;
Atomic Structure; Chemical Bonds; Ionic Bonding; Covalent Bonding; Structure of 
Materials; Bond Energies. Companion program to 'Atom's, Symbols 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 running 
the program 'options.exe'(click on the 'Change Options' icon in the  'Atoms
Bonding & Structure' group or folder). There is also an option to provide answers.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Almost any computer running Windows 3.1/95/98 (PC 386 or above, 4mb ram, vga/svga 
monitor).

INSTALLATION
Simply run the installation program "setup.exe". During installation follow on
screen instructions and answer 'yes' to any queries unless you have good reason.

That's it!  The program is now fully installed and ready for use.

RUNNING THE PROGRAM
Win 3.1: Run the program by clicking on the 'Atoms, Bonding & Structure' icon in the
Atoms, Bonding & Structure group which will be on your desktop.
Win95/98: From the start menu, select programs and then the Atoms, Bonding & Structure
folder. Then select the 'Atoms, Bonding & Structure' icon to run the program.

UNINSTALLATION 
To completely remove the program from your computer:

1. Click the icon 'Uninstall Icons' to remove the program icons
   from program manager or the programs folder.
	
2. From file manager or explorer, delete the program directory (provided you 
   haven't placed other programs or files in this folder/directory). The default 
   folder is 'c:\Bonding'.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
These programs and documentation are provided "as is" and without any express or 
implied warranties. I have run the programs on a number of machines but cannot
possibly anticipate all possible variations of software and hardware that the 
programs may be run under. Therefore, the user must assume the entire risk of using
