- The Metric Conversion Utility
- Copyright (c) 1995-1997 by Harold Schwartz
-
- FIRST: Please make a backup copy of this diskette!
-
- This is the shareware version of SICon, the metric conversion utility. SICon
- is a Microsoft Windows program and, therefore, you must have Microsoft Win-
- dows to use it. This package should contain the following files. If it
- does not, you do not have the complete package and SICon may not operate
- properly. Before installation the shareware version contains the following
- 7 files:
- SETUP.EXE - The installation utility.
- LHA.DLL - The compression dynamic link library.
- SICON.HLP - The help file for SICon.
- FILE_ID.DIZ - A description file for online services.
- SICON1._HS - Compressed program files.
- SICON2._XE - More compressed program files.
- README.1ST - The file you are reading now.
-
- After installation the shareware version contains 14 files:
-
- SETUP.EXE - The installation utility.
- SICON.EXE - The program itself.
- GEOMETRY.DLL - The geometry dynamic link library.
- LHA.DLL - The compression dynamic link library.
- REGFORM.WRI - The registration form in Windows WRITE format.
- SITEREG.WRI - The site registration form in Windows WRITE format.
- SICON.HLP - The help file for SICon.
- CALC.ELP - The help file for the SICon calculator.
- SA.ICO - An icon file
- SI.ICO - An icon file
- SI3.ICO - Another icon file
- ELEMENTS.DTA - The data for the periodic table
- FILE_ID.DIZ - A description of SICon for online services.
- README.1ST - The file you are reading now.
-
- There are two ways to install SICon. You can use Windows File Manager to
- show the files on the distribution diskette and 'double-click' on the
- SETUP.EXE file or you can use the 'Run' menu item in the 'File' menu in
- Windows Program Manager. For the second option, enter the path to the
- SETUP.EXE file in the dialog box in the 'Run' window. For example, entering
-
- A:\SETUP.EXE
-
- would run the installation program if you were installing from the "A-Drive".
- SETUP.EXE will copy the necessary files to your hard drive and, if you prefer,
- SETUP will also create the Program Manager group along with the necessary
- icons to run SICon.
-
- NOTE: YOU MUST RUN THE SETUP PROGRAM TO INSTALL SICON PROPERLY!
-
- SICon is capable of making many different conversions, both to and from metric
- and Imperial (English) as well as to and from many ancient and archaic units.
- SICon is capable of over 350,000 different conversions. SICon also gives the
- density of over 625 different materials, some common and some not so common.
- In addition, SICon contains a periodic table of the elements which allows
- access to pertinent data on each element and notebooks full of useful geometric
- formulas and constants. SICon has help available throughout and all conversions
- can be copied to the Windows clipboard for pasting to other documents.
-
- There is a DOS version of SICon available. It's called MetriCon and is avail-
- able most places that SICon is available. Both versions are capable of the
- same conversions.
-
- Remember, ShareWare is software you can try before you buy. You are entitled
- to evaluate SICon for a period of sixty days. If you try SICon and decide you
- like it, you are asked to pay the author the registration fee of $14.95 + $1.50
- shipping/handling. You will receive the latest version registered in your name.
- The registered version does not have the advertisement screens you see in the
- shareware version.
-
- Thank you and Enjoy SICon.
