summary
Temp, Dist, Cooking and FOUR NEW categores. 442 conversion in
all.

instructions
There are nine function sets: Conversions, Dist,
Rate, Time, Area, Temp, Mass, Cook and XXXX.
Conversions is the main menu - you can easily get
to the other function sets from this function
set.

XXXX is a "Template" function set for you to add
your own categories to the main menu. There are
five main menu spots left. Send me a mail if you
add some categories to the main menu -- I'ld
like to see them.

Press [M] to get back to the main menu from each
of the sub-menus. Press [?] for help on each of
the sub-menus. Press [C] to clear the stack and
reset the 'from'/'to' mode.

In 'Help' mode, pressing a unit abbreviation will
spell out what that unit is. Visit this great WEB
site for everything you want to know about
converting from any Unit to any other Unit.
I took much information from this site.

http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/index.html

Currently, there are 442 conversions possible.

Here are the menus and how to use them:

------------------- Just tap a button!
| Conversions | 'XXXX' are free
|Dist Rate Time Area| category spots -
|Temp Mass Cook XXXX| see the template and
|XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX| make up your OWN !
-------------------

If you fill up an empty spot, drop me a line with
your function set and I may add your function set
here giving appropriate credit to you!

----------------- 72 conversions
| [Dist] [C] [?] | possible. e.g. -
| mm cm m km fur | 60 mi km converts
| in ft yd mi [M] | 60 miles to 96.56
----------------- kilometers.

The meter (m) is the International System of
Weights and Measures (french abbr. SIPM or SI for
short) fundamental unit for distance.

Don't know what 'fur' stands for? Go into 'Help'
mode and tap 'fur'. Then, visit the WEB site
mentioned above to read about the history of
the furlong.

-------------------- 42 conversions
| [Rate] [C] [?] | possible. e.g. -
| in/s f/s mi/h f/FN | 60 mi/h f/FN converts
| cm/s m/s km/h [M] | 60 miles per hour to
-------------------- 161280 furlongs per
fortnight!

Meters per second (m/s) is the SI approved unit
for measuring rate.

The "real" abbr. for furlongs is 'fur' but space
considerations dictated the use of 'f' instead
of 'fur'. Don't ask me why I put furlongs and
fornights into the program.

------------------ 56 conversions
| [Time] [C] [?] | possible. e.g. -
| s min hr d | 1 yr d converts
| wk FN mo yr [M] | 1 tropical year
------------------ to 365.24 days.

Seconds (s) is the SI fundamental unit for time.

FN is my own abbreviation for fortnight since
there is no official one. Time is tricky. A year
can be 365 or 366 days. A month can range from
28 to 31 days. But, a "tropical year" can be
converted exactly as well as a "synodic month".

------------------- 90 conversions
| [Area] [C] [?] | possible. e.g. -
| mmセ cmセ mセ kmセ | 1 ha A converts
| ha inセ ftセ ydセ | 1 hectare to 2.47
| miセ A [M] | Acres.
-------------------

Square meters (mセ) is the SI approved unit for
measuring area.

The Hectare (ha) is the metric equivalent of the Acre (A).

---------------- 20 conversions
| [Temp] [C] [?] | possible. e.g. -
| ェ イ ガ | 212 ェ コa converts
| コa コe [M] | 212 degrees Farenheit
---------------- to 671.67 degrees Rankine

Degrees Kelvin (ガ) is the SI fundamental unit for
temperature.

Note: This sequence 212 ェ イ イ ガ ガ コa コa コe
will show the boiling point for all the scales on
the stack.

For information on Celsius, Farenheit, Kelvin,
Rankine and Reaumur scales please see:

http://www.cchem.berkeley.edu/ChemResources/
temperature.html

------------------- 90 conversions
| [Mass] [C] [?] | possible. e.g. -
| mg ct g kg | 1 tS pd converts
| tn oz oz t pd | 1 short ton to
| tL tS [M] | 2000 pounds.
------------------- tS is the American ton.

The kilogram (kg) is the SI fundamental unit for
mass.

'tn' is the metric tonne. 1 tn = 1000 kg
'tL' is the British long ton.
'oz t' is the troy ounce, traditionally used in
pharmacy and jewelry while 'oz' is the
avoirdupois ounce.
'ct' is the metric carat defined in 1907 to be
exactly 200 milligrams.

--------------------- 72 conversions
| [Cook] [C] [?] | possible. e.g. -
| tsp tbsp fl oz | 1 tbsp ml converts
| c pt qt gal | 1 tablespoon to
| ml l [M] | 14.789 mililiters.
---------------------

Liters (l) is the SI approved unit for measuring
volumn.

'fl oz' is the fluid ounce. It is a traditional
unit of liquid volume, called the fluid ounce to
avoid confusion with the weight ounce. In the
U. S. customary system there are 16 fluid ounces
in a pint, so each fluid ounce represents
1.804 687 cubic inches or 29.573 531 milliliters.
In the British imperial system there are 20 fluid
ounces in an imperial pint, so each fluid ounce
represents about 1.733 871 cubic inches or
28.413 063 milliliters. A fluid ounce of water
weighs just a bit more than one ounce
avoirdupois.
