To use this program, simply click on the unit category you would like to convert...from there, type in one of the boxes the number you would like to convert to the other units. Tada, it does it instantmatically :-)
You MUST have the following DLL's in your c:\windows\system\ directory:
comdlg32.ocx
DBList32.ocx
DBGrid32.ocx
OlePro32.dll
OleAut32.dll

--NeW iN 2.5!!!--
Totally new interface!

--BUG FIXES FROM 2.0 OFFICIAL RELEASE--
Fixed Meters ---> Kilometers bug under LENGTH
Fixed Miles ---> Yards bug under LENGTH
--BUG FIXES FROM 2.0 BETA 3--
Re-did ALL coding b/c of an error on my part that caused everything to seemingly convert wrong. Changed the Main Menu design a LITTLE bit. Everything should be good to go!
--BUG FIXES FROM 2.0 BETA 2--
Under the LENGTH CONVERTER, I badly miscoded the feet conversion settings and it caused a runtime error (aka. program crash) This was the only bug found and hopefully is the last one in the program.
--BUG FIXES FROM 2.0 BETA 1--
Under the FORCE CONVERTER, fixed a bug that caused Kip Force to convert to Newtons incorrectly.
Under the LENGTH CONVERTER, fixed a bug that caused many different units to convert to Kilometers incorrectly.
Under HELP!!! fixed a mispelling error and fixed the incorrectly given "default directory"

--WHY THIS PROGRAM?--
I have a lot of people ask me WHY I made this program. In my opinion, it is the simplest program (and most inexpensive for what you get) to convert units available today. /I originally decided to make this software so that I could convert temperatures more easily. On some internet sites, the weather is given in Celsius and I was tired of using my graphics calculator which is a long ways a way from my computer, to convert, so I just programmed up a temperature converter. Then I said "hey, I think I could do MORE than that" so I decided to expand on the program and distribute it as shareware!
--REQUIREMENTS--
THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING!!!
Math Co-Processor (Intel, Cyrix, AMD, and compatibles) I programmed this on a computer which has a Cyrix Chip
386/SX or higher running **WINDOWS 95**
vb40032.dll, mfc40.dll, comdlg32.ocx, grdkrn32.dll, msvcrt40.dll, dblist32.ocx, msvcrt20.dll, olepro32.dll, and dbgrid32.ocx ALL OF THESE DLLS and OCXS should be in your windows\system directory!!!
If you find any bugs, besides cockroaches or ants please.. please send me a quick e-mail message (camerond@skantech.com)
