Currency (The Currency Conversion Tool) OpenStep Version 2.0 by Eric Tremblay (ericet@cam.org) Submitted to: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/openstep/submissions Should end up in: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/openstep/windows/apps/financial Intro: ====== This is an OLD app that I "converted". It's NOT EASY the conversion from NEXTSTEP to OpenStep. At least not as easy as we were lead to believe. Even a VERY simple application such as this one does not automatically convert to OpenStep. I can only imagine the work that it takes to convert something like WriteUp or other fancy applications... Onces converted it was VERY EASY to port it to Windows NT. Simply a recompile did the trick. Bravo NeXT! Currency is a valuble tool to the people who travel or are going to travel. It permits the user to convert his dollars into any foreign currency. How to I get the lastest rates? Well you can first start out with your local newspaper or on the World Wide Web.
