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.
If you like the program and you think it is useful, please register.
It costs only USD 10.00. You can send the money or an international
money order to the address below (no cheques please) or register
through the CompuServe Shareware Registration database (GO SWREG).
The program's registration ID is 2187.
If you have any comment on the program or any suggestions, you can
write a letter or leave a message in my CompuServe mailbox
(100277,2006). I hope you enjoy the program.
