ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Introduction ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Unit Converter is PM utility which enables "on-the-fly" unit conversions. You
can add your own groups, change basic units for groups, delete groups you don't
need, add units, change unit's conversion factor, offset and prefixes and
delete units you don't need.
Note: when you add new group/unit or correct errors in existing group/unit,
send me file CONVERT.DAT, so I can include changes in next release.
Thanks in advance.
Unit Converter has Language support for English, Croatian, German, Swedish and
French. If you want to add your Language support visit my site and download
Translation tool (translat.zip).

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Using Unit Converter ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In Unit Converter main window are three lists:
Groups Available groups of units (Area, Length, Mass,...). When
you select group, in 2nd and 3rd list are displayed units
in this group.
Source units Source units (convert from ...). Select source unit and
type value (default is 1).
Target units Target units (convert to ...). Select target unit to
convert units and display conversion result.
When you select source or target unit, conversion result is automatically
updated.
If you change value of source unit, press button to convert source to target
unit. You can type only numeric value. If you type (or paste from Clipboard)
wrong value, it will be replaced with default value: number 1.
Press this button if you want to convert source unit to all target unit.
Note: Exception are group 'Character' and 'Shoe'. See Specific groups and
units and Shoe sizes.
Copy conversion result to Clipboard. You can also copy whole text.
Paste conversion result from Clipboard and use it as value of other source
unit.

In Groups dialog you can change:
group's name (if you change name, group will be saved as new)
group's basic unit.
In Units dialog you can change:
unit's name (if you change name, unit will be saved as new).
unit's symbol (type * if symbol is unknown)
prefixes to use with unit. If some of prefixes can be used with this
unit, check selected prefix.
unit's conversion factor (multiply group's basic unit by this number):
number (also valid in form of exponential notation) or formula - see
warning below!.
offset for conversion factor (add this number to conversion factor):
number (also valid in form of exponential notation) or formula - see

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. SI units ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The modern metric system (SI) is the system of units and measures, with
following principles:
1. the system should consist of measuring units based on unvariable
quantities in nature,
2. all units other than the base units should be derived from these base
units,
3. multiples and submultiples of the units should be decimal (see Prefixes.)
The units are classified into Base units, Supplementary units and Derived
units.

20 SI prefixes are used to form decimal multiples and submultiples of SI units.
Nearly all of the SI prefixes are multiples or sub-multiples of 1000. However,
these are inconvenient for many purposes and so hecto, deca, deci and centi are
also used.

In computing, using the metric prefixes specify powers of 2. For example, a
kilobit is usually 2^10 = 1024 bits instead of 1000 bits. This leads to
considerable confusion, and in 1998 the International Electrotechnical
Commission approved new prefixes for the powers of 2:

The metric prefixes should be used in computing just as they are used in other
fields:
1 gigabyte (GB) should mean exactly 1 000 000 000 bytes, and 1 gibibyte (GiB)
should mean exactly 1 073 741 824 bytes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Translation tool ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Language support for Unit Converter (buttons text, messages, frames text ...)
is stored in Language INI files (ENGLISH.INI, CROATIAN.INI,etc.) and source of
help file (this file - English.inf) is file English.ipf.
If you want to add your Language support visit my site and download

- Key value is "English.inf" - it is default help file for Unit Converter.
In section (Page) Help are stored titles of topics in English.inf and they are
used as parameter when you press Help button in Unit Converter. You should
translate this section only if you want to translate source help file
(English.ipf). Then items in Help section should be identical as translated
titles in new IPF/INF file.
Note: After you added new Language support to Unit Converter, I would
appreciate if you send me new INI file, so I can include this file in
next version of Unit Converter.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Translate help file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To translate help file you need IPF compiler.
If you want to translate English.ipf to your language, after you finished
translation, make changes in Application "Language" in file CONVERT.INI.
For example:
when you translated ENGLISH to MYLANG (where MYLANG is your Language),
MYLANG.INI file is created. When you translated English.ipf to Mylang.ipf
and compile Mylang.ipf, Mylang.inf file is created.
Edit in CONVERT.INI:
change in Application Language, Key MYLANG, Value English.inf to
Mylang.inf.
Be sure you also translated Help section in MYLANG.INI. In section (Page) Help
are stored titles of topics help and they are used as parameter when you press
Help button in Unit Converter. Translate this section only when you translated
source help file (English.ipf).
Note: After you translated help file, I would appreciate if you send me new
IPF/INF file, so I can include this file in next version of Unit
Converter.
