LONG DESCRIPTION
This program may just be the utility you have been looking for.
Designed to convert between different units (e.g. inches to
centimetres, horsepower to watts, pounds to dollars etc.), it will
handle any conversion which has a linear relationship between the units
involved (i.e. they can be multiplied or divided by a constant). New
conversions can be easily added and existing conversions changed or
deleted from the database. The program has the ability to print the
database to form a handy reference list for when the computer is not
available. The database is in dBase format so even if you don't like
the program, the data can still be used in other applications.
The database is updated every 6 months by the author.

PROGRAM UPDATES
I intend to update the database every 6 months with any new conversions
I think should be included and with the conversions sent to me by users
of the program. I will also at that time issue an updated version of
the program with any improvements or changes I feel are necessary. If
the version of the database you are using is older than 8 months Please
obtain an up to date version of the program from me.
I will automatically send the program to the shareware libraries and
bulletin boards I receive the most registrations and returned copies of
the database from.
NOTE TO SHAREWARE LIBRARIES AND BBS SYSOPS:
If you want a copy of the latest version of the program, send me a
copy your catalogue with my program listed in it (SYSOPS send me some
proof that my program is available on your BBS), enclose a blank disk,
a disk mailer and 2 international reply coupons and I will send you the
most up to date version of the program. If this is too much trouble
send me an IR£10 bankers draft (This is for prepaid orders only. If you
want me to invoice you it will cost IR£20)and I will supply the disk
and mailer.
PLEASE USE THE ORDER FORM PRINTED BY OPTION 9 OF THE DATABASE
MAINTENANCE (F2) MENU or use the order form at the end of this file.
NOTE TO COMPANIES, INDIVIDUALS AND COMPUTER USER GROUPS:
If you want me to send you the up to date version, send me a IR£20
bankers draft (prepaid orders only if you want me to invoice you it
will cost IR£30) and I will send you the latest version of the program
when it becomes available. ( This is supposedly to cover the cost of
post and packaging but in realty it is for putting me to the trouble of
stuffing envelopes when I would rather be writing programs. It is much
cheaper to get it from your local shareware library or BBS, If they do
not list the
program ask them to.)
PLEASE USE THE ORDER FORM PRINTED BY OPTION 9 OF THE DATABASE
MAINTENANCE (F2) MENU or use the order form at the end of this file.
