  TARGET AUDIENCE
  ===============
       Engineers, technicians and students


  PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
  ===================

  Short Description :-
       Freeware units conversion for engineers

  Full Description :-
       Freeware. Uconeer has 394 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 800 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

  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 INSTRUCTION
  =====================
       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.
