USING  WINVERT

WINVERT for windows is a MDI Microsoft program which performs unit conversions.  It allows the user to have multiple conversion windows open simultaneously.  The conversion data is a user modifiable ASCII data file allowing the user to add conversions.

Data File Expansion

Unit Conversions


DATA FILE EXPANSION

The data file is WNVT.DAT and is easily expanded using the Windows accessory program NOTE PAD.  The first number in the file is the number of dimensions in the data file.  When adding dimensions to this file, this number must reflect the total number of dimensions available for conversion.  Currently, there are 21 dimensions in the data file; therefore, if the user were to add 3 more dimensions, the first number in the file would be 24.  This version of WINVERT will allow the user a total of 25 dimensions; therefore, only four more dimensions may be added to this data file.  However, the registered version of WINVERT will allow a total of 50 dimensions.

To add dimensions to WNVT.DAT,  page down to the last record of the file.  On the next line, type the dimension to be added.  Following the format of the preceeding dimension in the data file, the following is the format to be used on the individual lines after the dimension title:

 Columns   1-28 	name of the conversion

 Columns 29-38 	number of conversions within the dimension

(typically a 2-digit number starting in column 29)

 Columns 39-69	conversion factor

This version of WINVERT allows the user 20 conversions within a dimension.  The registered version of WINVERT will allow a total of 30 conversions.


UNIT CONVERSIONS

The screen layout for WINVERT is that which is typically seen in any Windows application.  The maximize and minimize buttons, and the slide bar will function as you are accustomed to with any Windows program.

The following is a list of functions available in this WINVERT program:

WINDOW


CONVERSION WINDOW

1.  Enter the number to be converted into the available box at the top center

of the window.

2.  To select the conversion process, click on the "convert" option in the

menu bar.

3.  To select the type of dimension to be converted, click on the name of the

desired dimension.  This window may be minimized for convenience

of further use by clicking the minimize button in the upper right corner

of this window.  This will place an ICON at the bottom of the original

window which when selected will bring back the window for that

dimension.  Multiple windows may be viewed by clicking each ICON.

4.  To select the unit to be converted, click on the small circle preceeding

the unit of the number that you input.

This will display a window with your numerical input and unit converted to all units available on the preceeding window.  This information may be printed by selecting the PRINT button or copied to clipboard for insertion into another application by selecting the COPY button.  The HELP selection will transfer you into the on-line help system for WINVERT giving you the option to search for a subject or select topics from the list of those available for this application.

Selection of the OK button will transfer you back to the previous window displaying the available units of conversion for your chosen dimension.


Constants Menu

CONSTANTS

The Constants Menu will let you access any of the constants listed in this help topic by category. To use this menu select the menu item. This will access help.


Window Menu

WINDOW

The Windows Menu will let you control the Multple Document Interface operation of Winvert. Use this option to Tile all open Windows or Cascade all the open Windows. You can also close all the active windows using Window, Close All. Remember - even if you have a window iconized it is using memory, if you are done with a conversion window you should close it. The window menu only performs functions which control the opening, closing, and appearance of any open child windows.
