Files
=====
ConVert is distributed in the form of a .ZIP file containing the
following files:

	readme.txt	this file
	cnvert.opa	executable code
	cnvert.rsc	help file

To use ConVert, place cnvert.opa in your \APP directory,
cnvert.rsc in your \OPD directory and install the program via
the "Install" option in the Series 3a's system Menu in the usual
way.

If you are upgrading, simply overwrite the existing files. Any
existing currency database is also fully compatible with the new
version.

If you are pushed for space, the help file can be deleted. However
I strongly recommend you keep the file for a few weeks until you
are familiar with ConVert's functionality.

Background
==========
I wrote this software to replace the various conversion tables
supplied at the front of the numerous diaries I have previously
owned prior to purchasing a Psion 3a. I wrote it to suit my
tastes and I no idea if it suits anyone else's! I did investigate
the various conversion factors, however, mistakes may have been made
and if you spot any errors, please let me know.

I do not intend to charge for this or future versions of this
software but reserve the right to do so should I wish!

As the first release of software ensure you take the usual
precautions you would (or should) normally take when installing
new software. 

Finally and as an acknowledgment to those folks that have
made their programs and examples freely available to the rest
of us, many thanks indeed. I hope this software is of use to
one of you.

If you have any comments or suggestions about ConVert, please
mail me. I cannot provide formal support or even guarantee a
response, however I would be pleased to hear from you. See the
"About ConVert" option on how to mail me.

Finally, if I have forgotten any acknolwedgements (in error), then
please forgive me!

Regards and enjoy,
David Howard-Jones.
