MetriCon is a utility to aid in converting numerical values to and from the
Metric system. MetriCon will convert values will make conversions from
English to Metric, Metric to English, English to English, Metric to Metric,
as well as to and from many additional types of archaic/ancient units.
MetriCon places emphasis on conversions to the SI system of units, which are
the preferred units for conversion to Metric in this country. Much of the
background for Metric conversions is included, both in the form of a ReadMe
file and in the form of context-sensitive online help which is available from
within the program. MetriCon is very intuitive and is easy to use; the user
is prompted through any conversion. There are over 30,000 different
conversions available, grouped into 38 different classes, according to the
type of conversion. Version 6.0 includes a utility called CLIPPER that acts
as a DOS clipboard utility which will allow the user to paste conversions
into a word processor.
Since Congress has mandated that the United States make the switch to the
Metric system, anyone faced with implementing the changeover will find
MetriCon very useful.
MetriCon includes an installation utility to aid in getting the program
installed on your system.
Hardware Requirements : IBM PC, PC-compatible or MS-DOS computer.
