INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


1.  Run Windows
2.  From the File menu in Program Manager select Run.
3.  Type in either a:setup, or b:setup depending on your floppy drive designation.
4.  Quick Conversions 2.21 will be installed into a directory called Metric20.   It is recommended you use the suggested directory.  Setup will also copy the other files necessary for the program to run into your windows system directory.  All this is automatic.

If you have version 1.0 or version 2.2 installed, delete it before installing this program disk.

VER.DL ERROR:

On some computers you can get a "Can't locate VER.DL" message or other VER.DLL message during installation.  This is caused by the program not finding the file where it expects to find it.  Make sure the file VER.DLL is in the  \Windows\System directory.  If you also find a file VER.DL in your \Windows directory, delete it.  If you can't find the file VER.DLL in the above directory, one is supplied with the program and you can copy it to \Windows\System.


New Features of version 2.2

Every time you start the program it opens or creates a file called RESULTS.TXT.  Every conversion you do is recorded into this file, which you can then view or print with Window Write.  The RESULTS.TXT file can be found in the program (Metric20) directory.  The file is cleared when you next start the program, so it never gets too big.   (There are some BONUS conversions that will only appear in the Results file, so have a look)  Also new are conversion tables including ones for mixing gas and oil for two stroke engines (Power Mixer), Cooking, Sewing, Nuts and Bolts, Fractions to Decimals and a sliding price comparison for prices in cents per kilograms
to cents per pound and per hundred grams.  You will also find common formulas, more categories of conversions and a window that will average a series of numbers for you.

Version 2.21, October 1994

Version 2.21 was created to adjust the memory requirements and to fine tune some of the proceedures in the program.  It is provided free to registered users of versions 2.2
