PROGRAM:  CONVERT UNITS
AUTHOR:   JOHN DEL FERRO
EMAIL:    delferro1@home.com
Current Release:  Demo Verion 0.7  02SEP01

THIS IS STILL A DEMO, Expect Some difficulties and expect that
it doesn't do exactly what you want!!

The purpose of this program are to convert back and forth between
multiple units in different categories.  

The categories in the program are:
 CURRENCY, AREA, LENGTH, WEIGHT, VOLUME

OPERATION:

On the screen there are 3 boxes on the right side.
These boxes identify the current:
    CATEGORY
    BASE UNIT
    CONVERTED UNIT

For each Category there are preset Unit values Names.
You select a BASE UNIT Name and a CONVERTED UNIT Name.
You enter a BASE UNIT VALUE by tapping it on the keyboard.
The converted unit will be simultaneously updated.

Basically you tap on the <- arrow to go backwards in each list
and you tap on the +> to go forward in each list.


ANY QUESTIONS??

LIMITATIONS OF THE DEMO VERSION:
1) UNITS ARE HARD CODED AND NOT EDITABLE BY THE USER.

2) A maximum of 5 categories

3) A maximum of 32 UNITS total all categories
  (That's 32 x 32 conversions!!) since each unit can be
  converted to ALL of the other units.
  
4) The result of calculations may not be accurate because 
there is a problem in the compiler (rexdk) with 
floating point math.  The developer of rexdk (Daniel) 
and his folks are working on solving this problem.

FUTURE:

I would like to play with this for a while in the current Form.

Please send me the units that you use COMMONLY.
This application is not/can not be a universal reference for
units.  It is meant to quickly access the ones that people
use often.

I am interested in someone sending me an appropriate ICON
to display on the screen!  You'll get a reference on the 
web page!

I will be working on Database Access to sync the units, 
but don't expect anything soon.  This app is at the 8KB
limit as it is.  As I learn more and experiment I think
I can be successful.

If I am not successful, then I'll dump the source out
for distribution.  In any case, the source will go out
to for distribution by the end of September.

Note that this application was written only due to the
tools provided by OTHERS in the rex community. May we
all grow and continue to have fun!
