Program Info...

CPU is a Cost Per Unit calculator to assist in deciding what product and packet size is the best value for money. Two independent calculations are shown making comparing prices easier.

Tested on...

Win98SE
WinME
WinNT
Win2K
WinXP

Installation...

Run "Setup.exe" and follow the instructions. To remove CPU, use the "Add/Remove Programs" option in the Control Panel. (Or simply delete the CPU folder. No Sinner Computing programs store data in the Windows directory.)

Use...

Enter in the cost of the product in either "Price" box, and in the "Quantity" window below enter in the size. The CPU appears in the "CPU" window below. The numbers entered should be only two decimal places precision - all extra places are ignored. Better results will be achieved if the "Quantity" value is less than the "Price" value.

The button on the top right shows this file, and the bottom right hand corner button is simply  brings up the "About" window.

Programmers Notes...

This program does it's intended task and I have no future plans for it. However, I am prepared to add further features to CPU if they are asked for and will not make the program too big. (15kb is probably as big as this program should get, and the window size is also a consideration.) I do not want to add conversion functions to CPU as I have plans for another program to do this.

Licence...

This program is free for individual use for non-profit purposes. If you find CPU useful and wish to show appreciation then please register another program, but CPU in itself isn't worth much.
