- ==============================================
-
- 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.
-
- The author would welcome bug reports, suggestions
