Long Description:
-----------------

WinDatCon v2.0 <ASP> is a Windows data conversion program by 
Vogel Scientific Software for Acceleration, Angle, Area, 
Energy, Length, Power, Pressure, Speed, Temperature, Time, 
Volume, and Weight. 

WinDatCon has many unique features. For example, complete 
pop-up unit definitions are available at the click of a button. 
Sometimes units in different measurement systems have the same 
name but different values. WinDatCon calculates the most common 
uses of the unit and provides definitions and conversion factors 
for other systems. Also, a list of SI prefixes with values, 
names and symbols is included.  

The Angle Conversion screen not only displays the angle value 
in the units available, but also provides a graphical 
representation. Another unique feature is the 
Degree: Minute: Second unit that can be input or calculated.

Time conversions can be a problem because the number of days 
in a year is not constant. WinDatCon addresses this problem 
by calculating and displaying the possible number of leap years 
in a given period. The user is presented with options to use 
365 day years with the minimum or maximum number of leap years, 
or use average 365.25 day years.

A Boiling Point option is available to calculate the approximate 
boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. For increased 
accuracy one of eight compound groups can be selected. A Density 
calculation option also is available. A list of boiling points 
and densities for over 200 common solvents and reagents is 
included.

WinDatCon has a simple and convenient user interface.  All 
conversions corresponding to a given unit class are displayed on
the same screen. Calculated values are accurate to six significant 
figures and all displayed digits are significant. Values can be 
displayed in scientific notation or floating decimal format. The 
conversion factors used by WinDatCon are consistent with 
published values including the National Institute of Standards 
and Technology.


Other features of WinDatCon include options to save a 
configuration for use on start-up, select programs to launch, 
and monitor Free System Resources. Extensive on-line help is 
available. This is a powerful tool for scientists and students. 
Requires VBRUN300.DLL. Shareware. Registration: $25
