The three programs in this issue are applicable over a broad range of educational levels. Lake Study for Windows is derived from a program designed for a college-level course for non-science majors, but its precursor has been used successfully in middle schools and with honors students at the freshman level. Atomic Spectroscopy is suitable for courses ranging from introductory high school or college level through advanced undergraduate physical and inorganic chemistry. Microstate will be useful in any situation where an instructor wants to make the ideas of statistical thermodynamics more concrete. Hardware and Software Requirements
This issue of JCE: Software is designed to run on IBM-PC, PS/2, or MS-DOS compatible computers with at least 640K RAM and one disk drive, except where noted below. A printer is not required but will be useful in many cases to make copies of data or graphs. The software is supplied on both 5.25-in. and 3.5-in. disks.
The Atomic Spectroscopy and Microstate programs require a Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) or compatible graphics, and a color monitor is recommended. DOS version 2.1 or later is also required and is not supplied with the programs.
Lake Study for Windows is designed to run on an IBM or compatible computer built upon an 80286 or higher microprocessor. Greater than one megabyte of RAM, a hard disk, and one floppy-disk drive are also required. A CGA, EGA, VGA, 8514, Hercules, or compatible display is required. (EGA or higher resolution and a color monitor are recommended.) A mouse is not required, but is highly recommended to take advantage of the graphical interface. DOS version 3.1 or greater and Windows version 3.0 or greater are required and are not supplied with the program.
