CONVERT ALL
by
D. J. B. Shibley
CONVERT ALL is a menu-driven, easy
to use program that converts between
English and metric standards,
Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature
scales, and the decimal and hex ( or
binary ) number systems.
If you wanted to convert five
kilometers to miles, for example, you
would choose the DISTANCE option from
the main menu. You would then go to
the DISTANCE menu which displays
options such as "kilometers to
miles." After choosing this option by
typing "K", the computer prompts you
to enter the value you want
converted-- in this case, "5".
The program then displays a
conversion table for kilometers and
miles, beginning with five
kilometers. Options at the bottom of
this screen allow you to page forward
and back in this conversion table, or
begin the chart with a value one
higher or lower than the one that
currently heads the list. You may
also return to the DISTANCE menu to
enter a new value or return back to
the main menu.
The same procedure is used when
converting weights, number systems,
liquids, and temperatures. A special
option found on the main menu, the
STEP CHANGE option, changes the way
all conversion tables are
incremented. Instead of the values
increasing by ones in the list, they
may increase by any increment you
wish.
