convertunits is a general purpose unit
conversion program. It works for Area, Volume, Length,
Weight and Temperature. (See List of Units Below). There are 10 categories
of units. Includes 60 individual units. One of you can figure
out how many permutations that adds up to!! Any way...A LOT. TWO VERSIONS: 07 SEP 01 : Hardcoded units: no memo sync 13 OCT 01 : Requires memo syncing |

Version 3.0c 13OCT01 Added: 1) EXIT button. 2) FILE: Hit the FILE Button and you can load up ANY properly formatted MEMO file. 3) S : SWAP the Base unit and New Unit 4) D : Cycle the decimal Places between 0 and 8 5) Temperature is NOT a required category. You can have it or not, and it can be ANY sequence.
I use this as a Currency Converter. My default z_jdf_UNITS only has 1 category, Currency. It loads very fast. If I want to do other conversions, I use the FILE button and load in a different file, such as z_jdf_basic. Be creative do what you want! and let us all know!! |

Version 2.0a 08OCT01 Added a Stealth EXIT button. Hit the Upper Left side of title bar to exit. Version 2.0 05 OCT 01 Current Update: Primary update is that the units are NO LONGER HARDCODED. The units are stored in a syncable MEMO file. If you Don't want to sync memos then don't use this version!! If you do use the memo, you get great flexibility to include the units that you want. I do NOT reccomend editting this file on REX. Edit it on the PC and then sync it down. You do NOT have to ever reload ADDIN, you just re-sync the MEMO. LOOK AT UNIT FILES: SAMPLE1 |

Version: 1.0a 07 Sep 01 Download the zip file to the left. If you DO NOT want to mess around with syncing a MEMO FILE, continue to use this HARDCODED, NON-MEMO, NON-CONFIGURABLE FILE!
It includes: Look over the readme file NOW if you want. Click on the left. (README IS OLD!!!! Sorry) |

Compiled using Daniel's rexdk. DAN's the MAN!! He got the floating point operations working, so the calcs should be right now!! He is also the key man behind the rexDK
compiler and development system used for this addin. |

Special thankx to these guys who provided
feedback. I wouldn't of had the energy to complete the task if they
hadn't sent me conversion factors and kind words. Hey, I don't know
them, they don't know me; there seems to be a Texan, and Englishman, a
Frenchman, and a Dana amongst them! It really has been an
interesting project. John Leitch

| Further Development |
The numeric keyboard could be packaged into a re-usable routine.
Takes about 0.8K. If I can get DB reads working, might be able to make a configurable syncable currency file. Would be a "seperate" identical addin that is just for currency; could have categories: European; Asian; Nort/South America; Others. But that is for someone else! |

| BACKGROUND |
The bastard step-child of the Xchangelator
from Citizen Watch Corp and the mad sibling of REXChange by Bertus I have converted the original Xchangelator to ??work?? in the rexDK. At least there are no error messages and it creates the rex file and addin1.out. However it did not run, the emulator goes crazy!!! I headed onto a different track and started gutting and replacing various things. I deleted the database memo portions and now have it working with the values hardcoded. It is still very very buggy and I need to add the memo reads back in somehow. I deleted the dialog boxs. The function is replaced by just tapping on the arrows. This will cause the units to be cycled through. Not really that bad since there are multiple categories |
