Installation is a simple process, just run the downloaded installation file (WyrmConvertSetup.msi) or run it immediately on selecting one of the download buttons. |

There is nothing to setup. Once you've installed WyrmConvert you can run it. When you run WyrmConvert it will show you the main conversion window that you can use to convert between most units.
To convert, you first need to select the conversion category. As it's obviously not possible to convert between all units (e.g. you can't convert from pounds to metres), there is a drop-down list of categories that limit what units can be converted between. To select a category simply click on the down-arrow symbol at the right hand side of the conversion category box and then click on the desired category from the list. The available categories are shown below. Then you should enter the value you want to convert in the 'Converting' box. Next you select what you are converting from by picking the relevant units from the 'From' drop down box. Finally you select what you want to convert to from the 'To' drop down box. The converted value will be shown in the 'Gives you' box - you can highlight that value and copy it to the clipboard. Below that is given the 'Conversion Factor' in case you are interested (i.e. the multiplier used in the conversion). The available conversions are also shown below. This allows you to add new conversions and categories. To change the options, you need to display the system menu. This is done by clicking on the arrows symbol in the top left hand corner of the main window. Then you can select the Options menu item to display the following window.
To add a conversion you need to select a category in the left hand list box, then click on the 'Add' button on the right hand side. This will display the following window.
Type the name of the unit in the 'Conversion Units' box, then you can enter the conversion to the basic unit for the category. Usually the offset will be 0 (the only time it is used is when converting from Celcius to Fahrenheit) and all you will typically need to enter is a multiplier. Click the Ok button to save your conversion. To add a category you just need to click on the 'Add' button on the left hand side. This will display the following window.
Then enter the name of the category and click OK to save it in the list. NOTE: If you don't enter any units for the category then it will not show up. The other buttons on the Options window do pretty much what they say. The edit buttons edit the selected category or conversion (using the same windows as when adding), and the del buttons delete the selected category or conversion. Click on the arrows symbol, then choose the 'About WyrmConvert' menu option. This will display the About window.
This is a simple window that gives some very basic information and a link to this site. |

How can I enter very large and very small numbers? Is there anyway to convert pixel units into a length say in centimetres or millimetres? |

5. Known Bugs/Features/Limitations Why are metres not spelled meters and kilometres not spelled kilometers? Why is Mach not included in the Speed category? Fuel Consumption calculation from miles per gallon to litres per 100 kilometres appears very wrong! |
