      RVALUE v1.10 is a Windows program which displays the standard
      decade values for 1% and 5% resistors.

      If you have a resistance value, the program can calculate the
      closest standard resistor.  Type the resistance value in the
      value dialog box, and the results are displayed on the main
      screen.

      Examples of dialog box entries are

          4.79K
          0.777738E-05
          25

      RVALUE may be used without any fees.  The RVALUE.TXT, RVALUE.HLP
      and RVALUE.EXE files may not be altered, but compression is allowed
      for up/down loading to/from electronic bulletin boards.  No one is
      authorized to sell these files!  Software distributors must notify
      me in writing of their intention to distribute this software
      (otherwise I can not provide updates).

      2.  In Windows 3.1 .................................................

          This step is optional for users who want to create a new group

          Windows will automatically assign a file. Click OK.

          In Windows 95  .................................................

          This step is optional for users who want to create a new folder

          press return.  For example you might choose "Engineering".

          directory where you copied the files in step 1.  Click on

              (If you want the RVALUE in a different folder replace
               Engineering with the name of the folder you choose.)

          Next, in the same left pane, locate the directory where you
          copied the RVALUE files and click on it so that RVALUE.EXE and
          RVALUE.HLP appear in the right pane.
