Resistor 1.0 

(C) Hugh Matthews, November 1996 


Overview 

Resistor converts between the standard component colour code and
component values. Conversions can be carried out in either direction.
Not only does it deal with '4-band' carbon film resistors, but also with
precision '5-band' and '6-band' metal film resistors and with polyester
capacitors. 


Installation instructions

Copy Resistor.opa to any \APP directory. Put the optional help file 
Resistor.rsc in \APP\RESISTOR from the same \APP directory. Install
Resistor from the system screen using Psion-I.
