This issue, Volume 10 B, Number 2 marks the end of Series B, for PC-compatible computers running DOS. Because of declining submissions and the preference of users for Windows, any future DOS submissions will be required to run under Windows and Windows 95. If accepted for publication, they will be published in JCE SoftwareÕs Series D, for Windows-compatible computers. We will continue to publish Series C, for Mac OS-compatible computers and Special Issues on CD-ROM and videotape.

How to Use These Programs

The Basics of Covalent Bonding is ideal for use as a lecture aid when presenting quantum numbers and atomic orbitals in introductory chemistry. It comes with several lessons designed for more advanced students (physical chemistry, quantum chemistry) to use the program directly.

DNA Sequencing can be used as an introduction, assignment, or an assessment tool. It may be particularly effective as a pre-laboratory exercise.
