Convert is a program for calculating currency conversions.  It 
is intended for use by travellers or for simple conversions 
only.  It does not cater for differential buy/sell rates, 
commissions or exchange charges.

Convert allows for the maintenance of currencies and exchange 
rates in a database file and for the selection and use of any 6 
of these at one time for conversions.

Convert allows for the selection of any one of the currencies in 
the database as the master currency.  This is used as the basis 
for all conversions and conversion rates should be entered 
against this currency.  If this currency is changed, the rates 
of all other currencies in the database are recalculated 
automatically.

Currencies in the supplied file are:
Sterling, Dollars, Drachmars, Marks, Francs, Lire, Belgian 
Francs, Australian Dollars, Austrian Schillings, Canadian 
Dollars, Finnish Marks, New Zealand Dollars, Norwegian Kroner, 
Escudos, Swedish Kroner, Cypriot Pounds, Swiss Francs, Yen, 
Guilders, Danish Kroner, Irish Punt, Hong Kong Dollars and 
Pesetas.

Installation

Convert requires that the data file CURR.DBF is situated in the 
"\DAT" directory of the Series 3 and, if you wish to install 
Convert as an application, the pic file CONVERT.PIC is situated 
in the "\OPD" directory.  If you don't wish to install convert 
as an application, CONVERT.PIC is not needed and you should 
delete or "Rem-Out" the first 3 lines of the CONVERT.OPL 
program.  Once the files are in place, you should open Convert 
under the OPL menu and translate it.  If you are using it as an 
application you should then choose install application from the 
system menu, otherwise you can run CONVERT from the opl 
applications menu.

This selection allows the rates of the 6 default currencies to 
be adjusted.  A menu is displayed allowing the currencies to be 
selected.  On selection a dialogue is displayed showing the 
current exchange rate and an edit box for entry of a new rate.  
The current rate can be accepted by pressing enter.  The rates 
of the default currencies, and all others, can be changed also 
in the data application by opening the file "Curr".

This choice allows additional currencies to be added to the 
currencies file.  On selection a dialogue box is displayed and 
the currency name and exchange rate to the current master 
currency.  The maximum exchange rate in this version of the

Set Master  Psion-M This displays an alert, informing the user 
that all rates will be converted to the new master currency, and 
then a dialogue box allowing for selection of a new master 
currency from all currencies in file.  The maximum list allows 
for the currency names to total no more than 255 characters 
including a spacing character.  The program then starts the 
process for selecting 6 default currencies. (See below).  
Convert then displays a message while converting all exchange 
rates to the new currency.

This allows for the selection of the 6 default currencies and 
their associated hot keys.  The hot keys may be any character
