Installation Instructions for Conversion Pro For OS/2 version 1.0
(11/7/95 Shareware version 1.0 for OS/2 Warp)
Description: Conversion Pro for OS/2 is a 32-bit presentation manager application which enables the user to perform over 1800 'on-the-fly' scientific and engineering unit conversions. The application also includes a button calculator and a temperature conversion utility which can convert temperature data in either fahrenheit, centigrade (sometimes referred as Celsius) or Kelvin.
Requirements:
NEEDS: PC running IBM OS/2 3.X (WARP) operating system or higher.
An UnZIPing Program
1 Mb disk storage space
4 Mb RAM
Installation procedure:
1. Create a directory on a hard disk drive such as 'ConPro_1'
2. Copy the following files from the distribution disk to the newly
created directory:
cpwarp_1.exe - Connversion Pro for OS/2 executable
cpwarp_1.ico - Application icon
cpos2dat.dat - factors data file
cpos2ind.dat - unit names data file
readme.txt - Information file (the one you are now reading)
cporder.txt - Information for purchasing Conversion Pro.
3. Copy the file vrobj.dll (run-time library) to any directory
in your OS/2 LIBPATH such as X:\OS2\DLL or X:\OS2\APPS\DLL where X: is the drive letter where the OS/2 operating system files reside. NOTE:
This step must be accomplished or the application will not run. If you
are uncertain what directories are included in the LIBPATH, the LIBPATH is defined in the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS file.
4. Open the folder you created to hold the program files and click on the application object (executable) to start the Conversion Pro application. You may also create a shadow of the application object and place it in an alternate location (such as the desktop).
5. The program opens with a information screen while the application
loads the data files. As the files are extensive, this may take some
time on systems with slower CPUs. When the files are loaded, the "OK" button will be enabled and the application may be used when this button is pushed.
