@node part1 "What is it?"



            EasyConvert is a program which offers conversions between various
            measurements.

            It is called 'EasyConvert' because I would like to think that it
            is easy to use.

            To discover why I created EasyConvert click @{"here" link part5}.

            If you want to run it you'll want to know the @{"system requirements" link part2}.

            Or jump straight to @{"usage" link part4} for instructions on
            how to access the program.

@node part4 "How to use the program"



            Choose which conversion you would like by clicking the correct
            radio button, then either click in the box or click the 'Clear'
            button and then enter the value you want converted.

            Choose the number of decimal places from the menus. The range is
            0 to 4 places and the program will default to 2.

            Click on 'OK' and the answer will appear in the box.

            Clicking 'Clear' will clear the box ready for new data.

@node part5 "Why did I create it?"

    I know that many other people have created programs similar to mine.
    I have never done anything like this before and decided to see if I could.

    As you know by now, I succeeded in doing so. I have put in all the conversions
    I can think of, but the program can be expanded with the minimum of
    effort and further additions are only restricted by the width of my screen.
