Convert V2.0 ------------ This program can be used to perform conversions between a variety of different weights and measures. The program itself now performs over 150 different conversions! Installation is extremely simple. Just copy the CONVERT.APP file into your APP directory. Then create a CONVERT directory, and place the CONVERT.CFG file, and the CONVERT.DBF file into this directory. Select Install from the APPS menu on your system screen, and choose to install CONVERT.APP. After installing, you should have the following installed on your system: \APP\CONVERT.OPA \APP\CONVERT\CONVERT.DBF \APP\CONVERT\CONVERT.CFG Operation is also extremely simple. The program will show the credits and the registration message, and then take you straight to the Main Menu. From here you simply select the type of conversion you wish to perform from the Convert menu. e.g. linear measure for converting between inches and feet. A dialog containing the various choices will appear. Use the left, right, up and down arrows to select between the units of conversion. Press S to swap the two units of conversion around. Once you are happy with your choices, press ENTER, and you will then be taken to the Conversion Dialog. Here you must enter the value that you wish to be converted and press ENTER. The Series 3 will then display the answer and wait for you to press a key. You will then be taken back to the Conversion Dialog for another conversion using the same units of measurement. If you do not wish to make another conversion using these measures you simply press ESC. To exit from the units selection, press ESC. Finally to exit the program press ESC at the Main Menu. To change the number of decimal places move to the other menu and select Decimal Places. The program comes with a default of 2 decimal places. You are prompted to enter the Number of decimal places. This is the number of decimal places that the value to be converted and the final converted result will be displayed to. You can have a maximum of nine decimal places. Once you have set the number of decimal places, you will be returned to the main menu.
