What this software does
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This application converts between various units, generally
SI and Imperial, but there are also some more specialised
conversions, such as energy equivalents.
When this application is run, by double clicking on it in a
directory display, it's icon is installed on the iconbar.
Clicking with SELECT on the iconbar icon opens the convert
window. As a value is entered into one of the writable
icons, the converted values will be continuously updated and
displayed. A particular value can be cleared using Ctrl U
(hold down ctrl and press U). Clicking MENU within the
convert window leads to a choice of various classes of unit
to convert, e.g. speed, length.
In addition to simple unit conversions, it is also possible
to calculate mean free paths, average velocities, and
collision frequencies for gas molecules at various
temperatures, pressures and molar mass.
More extensive help is available when the application is
running.
