Notes on ESBUnitConv
====================

1. Most conversions are only accurate to about 4 significant figures. Please
take this into account before reporting "errors".

2. Temperature Conversions do not allow you to go below Absolute Zero.

3. The Screen Size, Position, various options, Popup Calculator Status, and
the last tab your were on are saved between executions.

4. Decimal Point and Thousand's separator should be displayed in what ever
character the Regional Settings of your MS Windows 9X/NT/2000/XP is setup
for. If you expect to see a ',' for a decimal point but don't then you may
still have US (or something similar) settings.


Notes on ESBUnitConv's Popup Calculator
=======================================

1. 10^x can be calculated using INV and LOG buttons, or by entering 10
and then using the x^y button.

2. e^x can be calculated using INV and LN buttons, or by pressing the
"e" button and then using the x^y button

3. x^1/y (i.e. the y-th root of x) can be calculated using INV and x^y
buttons.

4. Inverse exist for all the Trigonometric functions by using the INV
button than one of SIN, COS or TAN buttons.

5. The Radian/Degree toggle are saved between executions.

6. Last Error (under info button) displays details about the last error that
occurred. AC clears this.

Known Problems
==============

1. Due to the lack of support for Scientific Notation, ESBUnitConv does
sometimes cause "funny" things to happen when number get too large. Check out
ESBUnitConv Pro if you need to play with bigger (and smaller) numbers.

2. ESBUnitConv may not view correctly when cetrain "Large Fonts" are used and
certain Themes. Try selecting a different Font and/or Theme. We improved on
this significantly with v4.

3. When dealing with a large number of digits and having thousands separators on
can cause the fields to "overflow". Try adjusting Font and/or Font Size till
you find one that you are happy with.
