     This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of Jay Kominek's
<jkominek@xtn.net> database of information related to the elements,
formatted for use by The DICT Development Group's client sever
software.

     The formatting software was written by Rickard E. Faith
(faith@acm.org).

     This package was constructed by Robert D. Hilliard
<hilliard@debian.org> from sources obtained from
ftp.dict.org/pub/dict. 

Changes:
 * added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files

     The Elements Database is distributed with the following notice:

This dictionary database was created by Jay Kominek <jkominek@xtn.net>
(Feel free to send any comments, additions, corrections, money to that
address) It was compiled from a variety of sources, and is in my opinion,
a work of my own. (The only stuff that was really copied verbatim was the
atomic numbers and weights, please, I'd like to see someone try and exert
a copyright on the values of atoms.) So, I place this in the public
domain, if it somehow breaks, you get to keep both pieces. It'd be nice if
you kept the fact that I compiled the information in here, but is not
needed.
