What does it do?
This is a small, handy software that provides you with the foreign exchange rate in real time. You don't have to download the exchange rate to your computer each day to perform your calculations. Instead the program connects to a server and uses the real time exchange rate to perform your calculations.
How does it work?
The program is a quite simple and straightforward one. You have to input what currency you want to convert from and what currency you want to convert into. Then push the Query button and the program connects to the server and displays you the current exchange rate for your currency combination.
All you have to do now is to fill in the amount you want to know convert and push the Calculate bottom. And there you have it!
You can choose between 151 international currencies. Either you can choose from the drop down menu or you can type in the currency code directly. For instance USD stands for U.S. Dollar and EUR stands for Euro. An extra file with the complete list of currency codes is also included.
There is also an option to automatically start the program when you start your computer and have the program sitting in the system tray waiting until you need it.
What it isn't!
This is not a freeware. You might download a trial version and test the program for 15 days before deciding if you want to purchase it or not. The registration fee is 25 USD/Euro.
Is it easy to use?
The program is simple to use and requires no effort to use correctly. The program provides an easy way of working with the current foreign exchange rates.
