- INTRODUCTION
-
- Thank you for evaluating Converter 1.5. There are several Windows-based
- unit conversion utilities available. A couple have prettier interfaces.
- But none have the ease of use, the flexibility and the power of Converter
- at the low price of $5.
-
- Converter 1.5 allows you to convert all the way from angstroms (one hundred
- -millionth of a centimeter) to parsecs (3.26 light years), as well as most
- units in between. That includes standard U.S. units, metric units,
- surveyor's units and even the ancient measuring units used in the Bible.
- That's just the length portion of the program. The weight modules include
- all U.S. and metric standards as well as Troy weights and Apothecaries'
- standards. The time module allows you to convert all the way from nanoseconds
- (a billionth of a second) to millenniums. There also such useful modules
- as household units, tire pressures and desktop publishing units
- (for converting between inches, picas and points.
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- Installation of Converter 1.5 couldn't be easier. Simply move the
- CONVERTR.EXE and CONVERTR.HLP files to a directory of your choice. You do
- not have to create a separate directory for Converter. You must have a copy
- of VBRUN300.DLL in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If you don't have a copy
- of VBRUN300.DLL, you can get it from most online services and bulletin
- boards, usually in the form of a zipped archive named VBRUN300.ZIP or
- VBRUN3.ZIP.
- You can install an icon in a Program Manager group or run the file
- from a run statement in the Program Manager or by double-clicking on the
- CONVERTR.EXE file in the File Manager.
- The operation of the program is self-explanatory, and online help
- is provided.

- REGISTRATION
-
- Converter 1.5 is not free. It is shareware -- very inexpensive
- shareware. It is not crippled or limited in any way. I have not included
- any annoying nag screens. If you keep this application for use longer
- than 10 days, you are expected to register it. That means sending me
- $5. That's all. Those who registered Converter 1.0 are considered
- registered users of version 1.5. Once you register, you are registered for
- all future updates. In exchange, you'll feel good whenever you use
- Converter 1.5, and you'll know that you are helping to keep the shareware
- system working. Send a check to:
