About WebElements 1.2.2

WebElements is a WWW periodic table database and utility packages constructed with data abstracted from the SuperCard program MacElements. This package, and hopefully its companion product WinElements, will be released at some stage. The home of WebElements is at the University of Sheffield, England. The WebElements home site was first constructed in 1993, and is maintained by Mark Winter. Be warned that versions of WebElements earlier than 1.2.2 (in particular, 1.1 and 1.1.1) contain disastrous errors! Version 1.2.2 might as well, but I don't know what they are as yet.
