Name: UCRex; Unit Converter Ver 4.0 ---------------------------------------- Release Date: 07 SEP 2001: Ver 1.0a 05 OCT 2001: Ver 2.0 08 OCT 2001: Ver 2.0a 20 APR 2002: Ver 4.0 ---------------------------------------- Ver 4.0: 1) Added ICON "Apples to Oranges" thankx to Jack Trades. 2) Added an alternate form of initialization file. The original form also still works. Ver 3.0: 1) Added "File" button. You can have different conversion memos and load them by tapping the "FILE" button. Ver 2.0a: 1) Corrected Errors in README FILE. The memo file MUST BE: z_jdf_UNITS 2) Added Stealth EXIT Button. Tap Upper Left side of Title Bar to Exit. Also the Home Button still Works as Exit. 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FILES INCLUDED: readme.txt : The file you are reading!! ucrex40.rex : the ADDIN file to be downloaded to REX with REX TOOLS. z_jdf_UNITS : This is the conversion factor text MEMO. The conversions are the same as included in version 1.0 of the program. This file is a MEMO that should be synced with Rex. The final name is z_jdf_UNITS Note there should be no .txt when you sync it. Best thing to do is create a new note in outlook and then copy the contents of this file into it. When it gets synced down to rex, the first line title will not be included on the rex side. That's all you need to run the program. You can modify z_jdf_UNITS as you want. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ADVANCED USER FILES: Version 4 has added a way to easily set your start-up file if you use multiple conversion files. z_jdf_UNITS - ALTERNATE: This is a sample of the alternate initilaization file. You use this only if you have multiple memo files and you want UCrex to start up using a specific file instead of z_jdf_UNITS. Note that this is a little bit strange, but it works and took very little code room! $ For UCrex ; $ Optional Initilization File ; $File with Factor "1" will be loaded; $ Use this to easily control ; $ multiple files ; $ ------------------------- ; #FILE,1; z_jdf_main,2; z_jdf_cook,3; z_jdf_money,1; #END; This says that I have 3 conversion memos and I want the DEFAULT one to be "money". Just make the file you want as default have a "1" as the second value. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- MAKING YOUR OWN MEMOS ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- The data file (memo) must be named "z_jdf_UNITS" It is CASE sensitive.
