-
- FIRST: Please make a backup copy of this diskette!
-
- This is the shareware version of ProKon, the metric conversion util-
- ity. ProKon is a 32-bit program and is intended to be run on Windows
- 95 or Windows NT. This package should contain the following files.
- If it does not, you do not have the complete package and ProKon may
- not operate properly. Before installation the shareware version con-
- tains the following 10 files:
-
- SETUP.EXE - The installation utility.
- PROKON.HLP - The help file for ProKon.
- CALC._LP - The help file for the ProKon calculator.
- FILE_ID.DIZ - A description file for online services.
- GEOMETRY._LL - Compressed program files.
- ELEMENTS._TA - Data file for ProKon.
- PROKON._XE - More compressed program files.
- REGFORM.TXT - The registration form for ProKon.
- SITEREG.TXT - The site registration form for ProKon.
- README.1ST - The file you are reading now.
-
- After installation the shareware version contains 10 files:
-
- SETUP.EXE - The installation utility.
- PROKON.EXE - The program itself.
- GEOMETRY.DLL - The geometry dynamic link library.
- REGFORM.TXT - The registration form in Windows NOTEPAD
- format.
- SITEREG.TXT - The site registration form in Windows
- NOTEPAD format.
- PROKON.HLP - The help file for ProKon.
- CALC.ELP - The help file for the ProKon calculator.
- ELEMENTS.DTA - The data for the periodic table
- FILE_ID.DIZ - A description of ProKon for online services.
- README.1ST - The file you are reading now.
-
- There are two ways to install ProKon. You can use Windows 95 Explorer
- 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 'START'
- menu on the Windows Task Bar. 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 ProKon.
-
- NOTE: YOU MUST RUN THE SETUP PROGRAM TO INSTALL PROKON PROPERLY!
-
- ProKon 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. ProKon is capable of over 350,000 different conver-
- sions. ProKon also gives the density of over 625 different materials,
- some common and some not so common. In addition, ProKon 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. ProKon has help available throughout and all conversions
- can be copied to the Windows clipboard for pasting to other documents.
-
- There is a Windows 3.1 version of ProKon available. It's called SICon
- and is available most places that ProKon 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 ProKon for a period of sixty days. If you try
- ProKon 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 share-
- ware version.
-
- Thank you and Enjoy ProKon.
