1. The files

ConvertLX consists of a number of files. These are:

Cnvrtlx.exe	- Self-extracting zip archive
Convert.exe	- The executable program
Convert.hlp	- The help file
Convert.icn	- A System Manager icon
Area.dat	- Area conversion data
Linear.dat	- Linear conversion data
Liquid.dat	- Liquid conversion data
Speed.dat	- Speed conversion data
Temp.dat	- Temperature conversion data
Time.dat	- Time conversion data
Volume.dat	- Volume conversion data
Weight.dat	- Weight conversion data
Install.txt	- This document
Convert.txt	- ConvertLX User's Guide

Once you've completed Step 3, you'll see these files in the
directory you've created.

2. Creating the directory

The first step is to create a directory to install ConvertLX
into. For example, you could create a directory called 'Convert'
on the C: drive as follows:

	C:> mkdir convert

3. Unpacking the files

Once you've created the Convert directory, you need to copy 
ConvertLX's files into it. You can either copy the self-
extracting zip file (convlx.exe) into the directory and run it, 
or, if you've already unzipped the files somewhere else, copy them
individually. The following commands show how to unzip the files
into the directory you just created:

	C:> cp convlx.exe \convert
	C:> cd convert
	C:\CONVERT> convlx 
 
You should see all of the files listed in Step 1 (above). Once
you've unzipped the files, you can delete the original zip
file:

	C:\CONVERT> del convlx.exe

4. Running ConvertLX

At this point, ConvertLX is ready to run. Just make sure you're
in the install directory and type 'convert'. The main ConvertLX
windows will appear, and you're off an running. For details
on using Convert, please refer to the users guide (convert.txt).

5. Installing ConvertLX under the System Manager

If you want to be able to run ConvertLX from the System
Manager, just by selecting its icon and hitting 'ENTER',
here's how:

	C:> 200  (for a 200LX)

	or

	C:> 100  (for a 100LX)

- Press the green 'More' key (with the '&...' icon)
- Press the F2 key ('Add')
- Fill in the add application screen as follows:

	Name: Convert (or whatever you want to call it)

	Path: C:\CONVERT\CONVERT.EXE (the path of the executable)

	Comments: (Press FN-3, followed by FN-Filer to get the
		  upside-down question mark and exclamation point)

	Icon:	(You should see the 2 arrow icon by default)

- Press F10 when you're done
- Use the arrow keys to select the ConvertLX icon and press 'Enter'

6. Freeing up some extra space

by deleting the following files:

	convlx.exe	- The self-extracting zip archive
	convert.hlp	- If you don't want the on-line help
	convert.icn	- The System Manager make its own copy
	install.txt	- The installation instructions
	convert.txt	- The user's guide (if you don' want it)
