- MEASURES AND WEIGHTS 1.4
- conversion program
-
-
- MEASURES AND WEIGHTS is an easy to use, mouse and menu driven program
- to convert between US, Imperial and metric measures, for any amount
- between 1E-300 and 1E+300. It uses Borland's TurboVision technology
- to calculate the results. Originally, I programmed it to be used at
- the Translation Department of the Belgian Television, where I work as
- a final editor.
-
- Run the program by typing MEASURES <+Enter>.
-
- Open the Measures menu by pressing Alt-M, F10 or by clicking on the
- title in the menu bar. Pick one of the submenus by pressing the
- corresponding letter or by clicking on it.
-
- In the dialog window, there are two colums with radiobuttons (the
- source and the target measure) and one input field. You can move
- between them by using the TAB-key or with the mouse. To pick a
- measure, move to it with the cursor keys and press the space bar, or
- click on it with the mouse. Enter an amount in the input line. When
- you change the source or target measure, the program immediately
- calculates the new result.
-
- A window can be dragged by clicking on the top border line and
- dragging the mouse. Close the window by clicking on the box in the
- top left corner or by pressing Alt-F3. You can move between open
- windows by pressing F6. When Alt-X is pressed, all windows will be
- closed before the program terminates.
-
- MEASURES AND WEIGHTS has been tested and performs its functions
- without causing any damage to the computer in use or any of its
- files. However, I assume no responsibility for any damage or losses
- incurred as a result of its use. Sorry about that.
