- !Convert Help for Version 1.1
- -----------------------------
- By Andrew Brian
-
- History
- -------
- v0.4/ This version of !Convert was not
- Multitasking and used the F keys
- for conversion selection.
- v0.8/ This was the first try I had at
- a desktop version of !Convert,
- and it failed !
- v1.0/ This version didn't use Interface
- 3D boxes.
- v1.1/ This version, which uses Interface
- for 3D boxes.
-
- Future Version
- --------------
- v1.2/ To support more Conversions.
-
- Instructions
- ------------
- Once loaded, to start !Convert, you
- need to click on it's icon on the icon
- bar.
- In the top box (the yellow one) inside
- the Convert window, you enter the
- conversion that you want to do. This can
- be done in two ways. One way is to :
- Click in this box, and type in, in lower
- case letters, the conversion Code which
- you want performed. You can ONLY type
- things into this box if they are shown on
- one of the submenus. To see these menus,
- press MENU inside the Convert window, and
- follow across to view them. Eg. to
- !Convert centimetres to inches, you MUST
- type : cm-inch (as shown on the submenu
- Length. Also, you must use (as the
- submenus show) the SINGULAR form of the
- measurement names ALL THE TIME.
- The other (better) way is to press MENU
- and bring up the appropriate submenu, and
- then click with SELECT on the menu
- option which you want to use. (!Convert
- then fills in the top (yellow) box for
- you.)
-
- Next, you enter the number of measurement
- units to be converted, into the left box
- (the orange one). Eg. to work out how
- many inches 3 centimetres would be, you'd
- type ' cm-inch ' into the top box, and
- ' 3 ' into the left box. To do the
- Conversion, just click on the bottom
- button, which is labelled 'CONVERT'.
