OUCH!
And how massive is this program?  You know, the size would decrease
exponentially if you didn't have 109 if-then statements.  Anyways, your
program is also outdated.  There are 114 known elements (as of February 23rd
1998 at Ferme Labs)  Oh well.  There's no real way to speed up that program
without completely rewriting it.  However, should you choose to rewrite, it
could take up a lot less space and run much faster.
