Currency 2.00 (12 Feb 2000)

Currency is a simple currency convertor. It converts between a list of
currencies which can be updated automatically from the internet using the UN
list of exchange rates.

________________________________________________________________________________

Installation

Currency is written in Python, so requires the Python runtime resources. You
can get this from

  http://www.schwertberger.de/

(the 'Binaries, Libraries' archive is sufficient). Install it as described in
the archive. You are now ready to run Currency.

________________________________________________________________________________

Usage

Double-click on !Currency to load it to the iconbar. Then click on the
icon to open a conversion window.

At the top of the window is the currency you are converting from. To change
it, click on a currency in the list. Type a value into the icon in the top
right and the converted amount will appear next to each currency in the
list.

You can open more than one conversion window by clicking on the iconbar icon
again. The number of decimal places displayed can be altered from the menu
from each window.

Choosing Update rates... from the menu from a window or the iconbar will
open a window. Follow the instructions to update the exchange rates. The UN
rates which are used seem to be updated every two weeks.

Interactive help is supported.
