program description
===================

short description :-
freeware units conversion for engineers

full description :-
freeware. uconeer has 397 units in 46 categories. covers all the basic
categories but adds engineering specific categories like enthalpy,
entropy, heat capacity, heat transfer coefficient, moment of inertia,
stress, surface tension, thermal conductivity, torque and viscosity.
converts feet, inches and fractions to and from decimal lengths. converts
between dynamic and kinematic viscosity. converts between volumetric and
mass flowrate for liquids and gases. gas constant in 900 sets of units.
comprehensive steel hardness equivalents. interface is kept simple by
exclusion of all archaic and esoteric units. powerful formatting and
clipboard features.

system requirements
===================
o/s : windows 95/98/nt4.0/2000/xp or later compatible version
disk space : approx 0.35 mb

list of files (after installation)

=============
the complete uconeer package consists of the following files :-
uconeer.exe the main executable file
 pad_file.htm the program description in pad format for browsers
pad_file.xml description for automatic processing by web sites
file_id.diz description in old web site format
uconeer.hlp the help file
readme.txt brief description and distribution details
unins*.* information for uninstalling program

installation instructions
=========================
this program is distributed as a single zipped file with the name
uconeer.zip.

copy the zip file to a temporary directory (folder) and unzip it

into the same folder. this will produce two files - this readme.txt
file and the uconeer_setup.exe installation file.

run the uconeer_setup.exe file. this will install the program into
the \program files\uconeer directory, although you can select where
you want to install it to.

after installation the program will appear in your menu structure as

start | programs | uconeer and the uconeer icon will appear on your
desktop.

operating instructions
======================
the program is virtually self evident to use, but instructions are
available by clicking the "help" button or pressing f1 when the program
is running.
