Not off the top of my head. What I can do is put together a prospective
or proposed project on chemistry and include information on gtkpool and
gperiodic along with how to contact the authors. Also I noticed that
many of the chemistry programs in the SAL database are GPL. Perhaps
someone coming along could see how to put together a set of programs for
a chemistry class. Doug, would a simulated chemistry set qualify as
edutainment.
