EniG. Chemistry Assistant
ver. 2.4 for Win9x/NT/2000
Split, December 2002
----------------------------


EniG. Chemistry Assistant is an expression calculator for fast calculation of molecular weight (the element symbols can be written in lowercase letters). It can parse and evaluate textual numeric expressions with chemical element symbols or without them. The program includes functions for statistical analysis, solving the quadratic equation, and prepare solution calculator. All of the calculations can be print or save and recalls again. The calculator also provides a list of common physical constants and performs various conversions between English and metric units.


INTRODUCTION

Chemistry Assistant is an expression calculator for fast calculation molecular weight of compounds by simple entry of chemical formula, and replaces the element symbols with their atomic weight. Program translates the texts with chemical element symbols or without them into a mathematical expression and calculates them.

There is an intelligent routine which translates the symbols of elements written in small letters into correct chemical formula. The result of the translation will be entered into the entry field and calculated, or the programme will report error. The appearance of mathematical expression, which is the result of the translation, can be seen if the mouse pointer is held over the tasks field. The right mouse button has several often used anions and molecules.

The Chemistry Assistant contains a list with task history, storing all the recent inputs and results. All of the calculations can be saved and recalled again. The calculator also provides a list of common physical constants and performs various conversions between English and metric units.

Chemistry Assistant also included a detailed help file that containing syntax, usage, and examples for all of the supported functions.

System requirements: Every 32-bit PC with Windows 9x, NT or Windows 2000 operating system.
