1 What is "Abroad!" ?

Abroad! is a suite of three applications: Currency Exchange, Unit Conversion and World Clock , and a powerful World Information Database, designed to help you when you go "Abroad!".

Imagine you're travelling in Japan and you decide to have dinner at a sushi restaurant. Currency Exchange will tell you that your delicious "Tokujou Nigiri Set : 5,000 Yen" will set you back US$44, or the equivalent in many other currencies, and if you order 1 "gou" of sake Unit Conversion will tell you know what you're letting yourself in for in US pints, Imperial pints, litres or whatever.

And when should you call your family back home to wish them pleasant dreams?" No problem! World Clock will tell you the time wherever they are in the world.

In addition, the Country Information Database provides you with country specific information on over 260 countries and territories world-wide, just a stylus-tap away. It includes each country's location on the world map, the nation's capital city, currency (code, name and rate), time (current time, time difference, variation from GMT, DST period) and local telephone information (country code, area code of major cities, international dialling prefix, AT&T access number). Naturally, you can search the information by keyword.

Have a nice trip!
