THE UNIVERSAL CONVERTER (tm)
Version 2.0-MM (for use with The Multimedia Workshop)
Copyright 1993, Jeff Napier & Another Company (tm)
The Universal Converter is a program which has a menu of
85 items, many of which have sub-menus totaling over 600
mathematical and other types of conversions such as
metric-inch, Fahrenheit-Centigrade, and musical notes -
frequencies. It is accessed through the DOOR menu, or can be
run as a stand-alone program from the DOS prompt.
How to use the Universal Converter
Try it. No instruction is necessary! If you get into
any trouble, remember that the [Esc] key will get you out of
almost anything. Experiment with all the options on the menu
to see everything it can do.
If you use a mouse, generally the left mouse button will
select an action (same as pressing [Enter]) or answer a
Yes/No question affirmatively. The right button (same as
[Esc] will abandon an operation and answer questions
negatively.
Every time the Universal Converter is started, it creates
a new file called RESULTS. If a RESULTS file already exists,
it is erased and started over. You can examine or cut and
paste the results of conversions from this file with your
favorite text editor or word processing program.
Advanced Tip:
If you want to export the resulting number from one
conversion or calculation to another, or in and out of the
CALCULATOR, simply enter the new menu area and press the [=]
key.
Problems:
If the disk which contains the Universal Converter
becomes full, the program will have difficulties because it
needs room in which to write the RESULTS file.
ACCURACY: (Disclaimer)
Although I have attempted to create this program with
great accuracy, it is quite possible that there is a mistake
or two. I assume no responsibility for the results of your
use of the Universal Converter.
Many of the numeric calculations are rounded to
approximately 4 positions past the decimal point. Others are
rounded to a total of 12 digits.
