A) Description

Polyions is a very useful program in chemistry classes. It is a list of
ions, from Acetate to Zirconium (IV). This program features:

    * Easy-to-read list of ions, displaying 11 at a time on the screen.
    * The list is alphabetized to make reading it even easier.
    * Jumping through the list of 99 ions is easy using Alpha-key support.
    * 'About the program' key within the program.
    * Simple formatting of chemical formulas.

B) How to use

The following keys will work with this program:

  ESC / F5   -- Exit the program.
  F1         -- Display the 'about the program' screen with credits.
  alpha, A-Z -- Using alpha + a letter will skip to that letter in the list.
  Up         -- Scroll up one ion.
  Down       -- Scroll down one ion.

C) Special Credits

The data was ported and modified from the data contained in the assembly
program Ions 1.0 for the TI-86 calculator. That program was written by
Garves, who received his list of data from another person. Download Ions 1.0
for the TI-86 for more information.

D) Known Bugs

Only one, and it's an odd one. There's a bit of overflow at the end, I
believe. Nothing major, not even a memory leak really. For some reason the
very last ion is the formula for the very first:

           Acetate                     C2H3O2 -1
           ...                         ...
           Zinc                        Zn +2
           Zirconium (II, III, IV)     Zr +1
           C2H3O2 -1

Oh well, I'll see what I can do ;)
