CURRENT FEATURES 

The Software requires a 486 processor or above, a mouse and
Windows95, Windows98, WindowsNT or Windows2000.

This working tool was designed to be EFFICIENT, USER-FRIENDLY
and also EDUCATIVE. The main features included are:

1. Conversion of units.

2. Conversion of currencies (input of country or currency)

3. Physical and chemical constants

4. Density and viscosity functions for some widespread 
   fluids: air, water, ethanol, mercury, sulfuric acid.

5. Geometrical functions (surfaces, volumes)

6. Gravitational acceleration in function of latitude and 
   altitude (calculation of local gravitational forces,
   pressures).

7. Smart functions: rounding, fractionating, reproducibility, 
   orthography, base-N calculations, roman calendar,...
   transfer to other programs via clipboard by clicking the
   result

8. Basic calculations before the unit, like
               pi*3*3  square feet
   The unit is optional. So you get a standard calculator:
               pi*((1.55e-3)-(3.58e-4))^2
  
9. Double-click to transfer a result into the input window. 
   So you may get other conversions (for clarity reasons, 
   only the conversions that make sense are displayed)
