0.6 
Improved on interface A LOT!  9 different color-coded areas.  Added 'More Info' button.  It don't do nothing yet. - 65.5k

0.89

2.2
Added quite a bit more info.  Removed lame-ass 'More Info' button.  Periodic Table 2000 is now a compressed executable.  That means it's WAY smaller and a bit faster loading.  Not that it was slow before... - 26k (!)

2.2.1 
Fixed small bug where Krypton's symbol would read "Ne".  Thanks to Paul Kinnaly for finding this bug.
