:I think to get all of that information, you might need an entire

:want to get into some of it, you need a "rubber bible". That's the
:student name for the "Handbook of Chemistry and Physics", that was
:published by the Chemical Rubber Company. I got one in my first year
:of university. I don't know if they are still published, however.
:You might find some in a university library, or a good high school one.
:Warning: mine is nearly 3 inches of very thin paper!
And my new one (1997) is about four inches, and still thin as heck. Yes,
they still publish the sucker.
:Some sections:
: "The Elements". A short paragraph on each one. Dense material.
: E.g. for carbon, it includes: atomic weight 12.01115, atomic
: number 6, melting point 3550C, sublimes above 3500C, boiling
: point 4827C, specific gravity: amorphous 1.8 - 2.1, graphite
: 1.9 - 2.3, diamond 3.15 - 3.53 (depending on variety), gem
: diamond 3.513 (25C). And then lots of words.
: "Physical constants of inorganic compounds" (nearly 100 pages)
: Columns are: name, formulae, molecular weight, crystalline form &
: properties & index of refraction, density/specific gravity,
: melting point, boiling point, solubility in cold & hot water & others.
: "Physcial constants of minerals" (only 4-1/2 pages!)
: Includes name, formula, specific gravity, hardness, crystalline
: form & colour, index of refraction
: "Physical constants of organic compounds" (nearly 500 pages!)
:
: ...
:(How can you tell I don't want to work on what I should be working on?)
:In other words, there is far more information than you could ever use.
:I think you need to cut back on your ambitions a bit, and start with
:something simple. Only put in data for things as you put sources of
:those things into your world. Else you'll go insane!
I'm still working on my goal of inputting over 50% of the chemical data.
I don't have any illusions of getting all the chemical data into my mud,
but half is a good goal for extreme ambition. I might mention that's the
p-chem data. Maybe 5% of the o-chem data, and some biochem.
