SICon
Ver. 2.6
The Metric Conversion Utility
Copyright (c) 1995 by Harold Schwartz
FIRST: Please make a backup copy of this diskette!
This is the shareware version of SICon, the metric conversion utility. SICon
is a Microsoft Windows program and, therefore, you must have Microsoft Win-
dows to use it. This package should contain the following files. If it
does not, you do not have the complete package and SICon may not operate
properly. The shareware version contains seven files:
SETUP.EXE - The installation utility.
SICON.EXE - The program itself.
REGFORM.WRI - The registration form in Windows WRITE format.
SITEREG.WRI - The site registration form in Windows WRITE format.
SICON.HLP - The help file for SICon.
BCALC.HLP - The help file for the SICon calculator.
README.1ST - The file you are reading now.
There are two ways to install SICon. You can use Windows File Manager 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 'File' menu in
Windows Program Manager. 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 SICon.
SICon 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.
SICon is capable of over 30,000 different conversions. SICon also gives the
density of over 500 different materials, some common and some not so common.
SICon has help available throughout and all conversions can be copied to the
Windows clipboard for pasting to other documents.
There is a DOS version of SICon available. It's called MetriCon and is avail-
able most places that SICon is available. Both versions are capable of the
same conversions.
Thank you and Enjoy SICon.
