On my copy, the only element with only one decimal place is Pb (Lead).  I
think you need atleast two decimal places to make accurate calculations
(preferably three).  However, this does end up taking up more memory, which,
unfortunantly, is in rather short supply.  If you are talking about elements
with atomic weights with no decimal places (i.e. Technetium, 98 ) those are
elements that do not exist naturally.  Good luck with the program.  If I
didn't answer your question or you have more, ask away.
