-
- The Universal Converter is a program which has a menu of
- 85 items, many of which have sub-menus totaling over 600
- mathematical and other types of conversions such as
- metric-inch, Fahrenheit-Centigrade, and musical notes -
- frequencies. It is accessed through the DOOR menu, or can be
- run as a stand-alone program from the DOS prompt.
-
- How to use the Universal Converter
-
- Try it. No instruction is necessary! If you get into
- any trouble, remember that the [Esc] key will get you out of
- almost anything. Experiment with all the options on the menu
- to see everything it can do.
-
- If you use a mouse, generally the left mouse button will
- select an action (same as pressing [Enter]) or answer a
- Yes/No question affirmatively. The right button (same as
- [Esc] will abandon an operation and answer questions
- negatively.
-
- Every time the Universal Converter is started, it creates
- a new file called RESULTS. If a RESULTS file already exists,
- it is erased and started over. You can examine or cut and
- paste the results of conversions from this file with your
- favorite text editor or word processing program.
-
- Advanced Tip:
-
- If you want to export the resulting number from one
- conversion or calculation to another, or in and out of the
- CALCULATOR, simply enter the new menu area and press the [=]
- key.
-
- Problems:
-
- If the disk which contains the Universal Converter
- becomes full, the program will have difficulties because it
- needs room in which to write the RESULTS file.
-
- ACCURACY: (Disclaimer)
-
- Although I have attempted to create this program with
- great accuracy, it is quite possible that there is a mistake
- or two. I assume no responsibility for the results of your
- use of the Universal Converter.
-
- Many of the numeric calculations are rounded to
- approximately 4 positions past the decimal point. Others are
- rounded to a total of 12 digits.
