This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

This is !Convert, version 1.00 (17 Jun 1991) (c) Archimedes World April 1992 The !Convert directory contains the following files. !Help - This file. !Run - Obey file which starts the application. !RunImage - Main BASIC code file. !Sprites - Contains the sprite which appears in direvoty viewers and on the icon bar. Templates - Contains the window definitions for the convert window and info box. !Convertor is a multitasking RISC OS application which will convert imperial measurements into metric ones and vice versa (it will also let you change metric/imperial units into other metric/imperial units, for example to calculate the number of centimetres in a kilometre). The convertor will also convert Farenheit and Celcius temperatures. To run the program double click on it in a directory viewer. The program will then be run and you will see it's icon on the icon bar. Press MENU over this icon and you will get a fairly standard menu. The first option 'Info' just leads to a window giving information about the application. The 'Quit' option will terminate the program and remove it's windows and icons. Press Select or Adjust over the icon and a window will be opened on your screen. You will see that there are 8 boxes in two columns of four running down the middle of the window. At the side of each box is a label telling you what units are displayed in that box. To start with these labels will be 'Inches', 'Feet', 'Yards' and 'Miles' on the left and 'Millimetres', 'Centimetres', 'Metres' and 'Kilometres' on the right. The boxes in the centre are all writeable, that is you can type numbers into them. To enter text into one click over it with Select. The caret will appear in the box and the colour of the window borders will change. You can delete the 0 that is probably there using Delete or Copy. You can only type numbers, full stops '.' or minuses '-' into a box. Other characters that you type are ignored. When you have entered a value press Return. The other boxes will now be filled in with the number of units equivalent to the number you entered. All the numbers will be rounded to two decimal places. On occasion a number cannot be seen totally in the box because it is too big. To see the number simply move the caret to the correct box using Select or the arrow keys and then use the arrow keys in the box to scroll left to right. You can enter a value into any box which has a label to the side of it and then all other values will be updated to the new value. So, for example, suppose that you wanted to convert 7 feet 6 inches into metres. There are three ways to do this. Firstly, enter the number as feet, as six inches is half a foot then you can enter 7.5 into the 'Feet' box. Alternatively change the value into inches giving 90 inches and enter this value into the inches box. Lastly you could work out the feet part first and then the add the inches bit. Whichever way you do it you should get a result of 2.29 metres. You can change other meaurements besides length measurements. Click MENU over the window and a menu will appear which is divided into two parts by a dotted line. The top half contains the different types of measurement which can be converted. These are 'Length', 'Area', 'Volume', 'Weight', 'Pressure', and 'Temperature'. Selecting one of these from the menu will change the labels in the window to represent the new measurements. Each type of measurement functions in the same way. Note that with some types of measurement some boxes may not have labels. These boxes are not used for this measurement, and won't change when you press return after you enter a value. Note that the boxes do accept negative values. This is especially useful when converting temperatures, but it will work for any of the measurements. The second part of the menu is for setting how accurately the numbers are 'rounded' before being displayed. When the program is run all numbers will be rounded to two decimal places. You can alter this by typing a number into the submenu which is reached from the 'Accuracy' option on the main menu. Any value between 0 and 9 can be entered. Numbers will then be rounded to the correct number of decimal places. By the way, the current displayed group of measurements will have it's option ticked in the menu. Andrew Benson June 1991
