It makes extensive use of Metrowerks CodeWarrior PowerPlant, drag & drop, graphics tablet support, and a bunch of other neat things. The plugins are based on a few core C++ classes and thus should be easily extensible. Permission of the author is required for any distributions.

In addition to the usual information found in such programs, The Atomic Mac also contains a wealth of nuclear information on each isotope, including half life, decay mode, and daughter products. X-ray data (fluorescence and binding energies) is also available. A molecular weight calculator makes it easy to find the molecular weight of compounds. A shaded diagram showing the ranges of physical properties makes it easy to visualize relationships across the periodic table. Data is displayed for the following physical properties: Density Heat of Vaporization Heat of Fusion Specific Heat Thermal Conductivity Linear Expansion Coefficient Melting Point Boiling Point Atomic Radius Covalent Radius Magnetic Susceptability Electrical Resistivity Electron Affinity Electric Dipole Polarizability State (gas, liquid, solid) Photoelectric Work Function Electronegativity Crystal Structure Valence Shareware: $25 Chris Smolinski - Web URL: http://www.blackcatsystems.com Macintosh Software, Shortwave Radio, Spy Number Stations [Archived as /info-mac/sci/the-atomic-mac-36.hqx; 662 K] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 13:38:52 +0000 From: Ezra Nathan Subject: best accelerator cards? Hello> Can anyone advise me on which accelerator card I can buy for my PowerComputing minitower PowerCenter 150? I am considering between the Sonnet Crescendo G3 300mhz 1mb L2 backside cache and the XLR8 MachSpeed G3 300Mhz 512k/150 backside cache. They are both at the same price here in the UK and low enough, I think, for a purchase now. I believe that the Sonnet is put into a PCI slot whilst the original processor is left in and it bypasses (cuts out) the original processor to take over. I think that the XLR8 is a processor swap. I am not sure about this, since I have had conflicting advice. Also, will there be any noticeable performance speed difference between the 1mb L2 backside cache of the Sonnet's and the 512k of the XLR8's? I haven't a great deal of technical knowledge.
