GC-Estimate (TM), Version 1.01
Copyright 1994 by Samer F. Naser. 
ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Uses the Easy C Base (TM) interface which
provides a Unified Graphical Interface to 
Group Contribution Methods. Methods implemented 
in this version are Fedors (calculates Density,
Cohesive Energy, and Solubility Parameter), 
and Joback (calculates Critical Properties,
Heat Capacity, Liquid Viscosity, Enthalpy of 
Formation, Gibbs Energy of Formation, Enthalpy 
of Vaporization, Enthalpy of Fusion, Boiling and 
Freezing Points). Name the structures and save 
calculation results and text with them. Use the 
clipboard to copy text and structures to other 
applications. Search the directory containing 
the structure files using exact structure,
a substructure, or fragments of a structure. Search
the directory for a string that occurs in the
structure's name or associated text. Combine the
structure search with a string search. Search results
display structure name and file name. Edit structures
and text using the standard Windows Edit menu commands.
The Molecular Formula and Weight are continuously
updated as you draw or edit. Open multiple files.
