What this software does
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This application converts between various units, generally
SI and Imperial, but there are also some more specialised
conversions, such as energy equivalents.

When this application is run, by double clicking on it in a
directory display, it's icon is installed on the iconbar.

Clicking with SELECT on the iconbar icon opens the convert
window. As a value is entered into one of the writable
icons, the converted values will be continuously updated and
displayed. A particular value can be cleared using Ctrl U
(hold down ctrl and press U).

Clicking with ADJUST on the iconbar icon opens the binary-
octal-hexadecimal-decimal conversion window.

In addition, it is also possible to calculate mean free paths,
average velocities, and collision frequencies for gas
molecules at various temperatures, pressures and molar mass.
These conversions are only available from the iconbar menu.

More extensive help is available when the application is
running, or from the manual in HTML format.
