The Unit Converter converts units - lots of units.  The program supports:
	Unit Search
	Clipboard copy and paste
	Unit double conversion
	ASCII data file that can be edited with any ASCII editor

Unit Conversion
Unit conversion is accomplished by entering numbers in a box which contains 
the cursor.  Numbers and scientific notation, such as 2.33455e3 are accepted.  
Conversion will work from right-to-left or left-to-right.  You can enter a 
number on either the right or left side of the table and the opposite side 
will calculate the answer.  

Unit Search
If a unit, such as "years", is entered, the program goes into the search mode.  
The entered unit will be located and displayed for use as conversion.  A 
complete word is not necessary to perform a search.

Clipboard
An entered number or an answer can be copied to the clipboard.  Position the 
cursor on the number to be "clipped" and press the "Copy" option in the menu.  
Paste works too.   To use it, position the cursor on the unit where the value 
is to be pasted and click the "Paste" option in the menu bar.  If the "Paste" 
option is grayed, there is no valid number in the clipboard.

Double Conversion
Any number in a box can be "Picked-up" and placed in a buffer.  To place the 
number in the buffer in another conversion, position the cursor to the 
desired conversion and click the right mouse button again.  The "Picked-up" 
value will be "deposited" where the cursor is located.  

For example: you wish to convert inches of mercury to Bars.  The program does 
not have this conversion, but it does have inches of mercury to pounds per 
square inch and bars to pounds per square inch.  To accomplish this 
conversion, enter the value to convert into the inches of mercury.  The 
program will calculate the pounds per square inch.  Move the cursor to the 
calculated pounds per square inch and click the right mouse button.  The 
search feature can now be used, and you can type bars.  The conversion from 
bars to pounds per square inch will appear on the screen.  Place the cursor 
in the pounds per square inch side of the conversion and click the right 
mouse button again and the resultant Bar calculation will appear.

When there is a value in the "pick-up" buffer the "Clear holder" option in 
the menu will go from grayed to black.  If you wish to clear this buffer 
click on this menu item.  Clicking the right mouse button will write the last 
value to this buffer making it unnecessary to clear the buffer.

If desired, the clipboard may also be used for this function.   The value in 
the clipboard may be used many times while the value in the "Pick-up" buffer 
can be used only once.

CHANGING CONVERSIONS
The file "W3_CONV.DAT" is where the conversion data resides.  It can be 
changed by any ASCII editor - such as DOS 5.0 EDIT.  The first file is 
configured such that the first entry is the left unit, the second entry is 
the right unit, the third entry is the multiplier, and the fourth entry is 
the adder.  These entries are delimited by commas.  The calculation takes the 
form of (x*y)+z=w where x is the first entry, y is the third entry, z is the 
fourth entry, and w is the second entry in the data file.  

The program does not sort the entries, so if you wish to keep the conversions 
in alphabetical order you must do it by its position in the data file.
