Fixed Meters ---> Kilometers bug under LENGTH

--BUG FIXES FROM 2.0 BETA 3--
Re-did ALL coding b/c of an error on my part that caused everything to seemingly convert wrong. Changed the Main Menu design a LITTLE bit. Everything should be good to go!

--BUG FIXES FROM 2.0 BETA 2--
Under the LENGTH CONVERTER, I badly miscoded the feet conversion settings and it caused a runtime error (aka. program crash) This was the only bug found and hopefully is the last one in the program.

--BUG FIXES FROM 2.0 BETA 1--
Under the FORCE CONVERTER, fixed a bug that caused Kip Force to convert to Newtons incorrectly.
Under the LENGTH CONVERTER, fixed a bug that caused many different units to convert to Kilometers incorrectly.
Under HELP!!! fixed a mispelling error and fixed the incorrectly given "default directory"

--WHY THIS PROGRAM?--

I have a lot of people ask me WHY I made this program.  In my opinion, it is the simplest program (and most inexpensive for what you get) to convert units available today.  /I originally decided to make this software so that I could convert temperatures more easily.  On some internet sites, the weather is given in Celsius and I was tired of using my graphics calculator which is a long ways a way from my computer, to convert, so I just programmed up a temperature converter. Then I said "hey, I think I could do MORE than that" so I decided to expand on the program and distribute it as shareware!

--REQUIREMENTS--

THIS PROGRAM REQUIRES THE FOLLOWING!!!
Math Co-Processor (Intel, Cyrix, AMD, and compatibles) I programmed this on a computer which has a Cyrix Chip
386/SX or higher running **WINDOWS 95**
vb40032.dll, mfc40.dll, comdlg32.ocx, grdkrn32.dll, msvcrt40.dll, dblist32.ocx, msvcrt20.dll, olepro32.dll, and dbgrid32.ocx  ALL OF THESE DLLS and OCXS should be in your windows\system directory!!!


If you find any bugs, besides cockroaches or ants please.. please send me a quick e-mail message (camerond@skantech.com)
