- I recently felt the need for some source code that would convert Arabic
- numbers to Roman. I searched archie, and the SIMTEL archives to no
- avail. I thought this most perplexing since such a function surely must be
- common. The SIMTEL msdos archives administrator, Keith Petersen, advised
- me to search garbo.uswas.fi. That turned up nothing, as well. However,
- Prof Timo Salmi, garbo's pc administrator, mentioned that a disccussion
- on this very topic had just occurred on comp.lang.pascal. A quick post
- later, and I had all the source I could want. Thank you Arlin Collins for
- sending me your collection of articles. Interestinly enough, the best
- algorithm I received was one that came from garbo. If there were only
- some way to index the contents of all the utilily collections out there.
-
- So, I made this collection of C routines, and am offering it under the
- name 'romancvt.zip' so that it will, hopefully be spotted in a perusal of
- the SIMTEL archives, or turn up in an archie search.

- The following MSDOS executables are included:
-
- arabic.exe Converts Roman numbers to Arabic
- roman.exe Converts Arabic numbers to Roman
