DESCRIPTION
DietCalc is a simple program for calculating basal and active caloric requirements, ideal body weight, and body mass index. Other applications exist to do these calculations individually, but DietCalc puts them all in one convenient place.

REQUIREMENTS
Requires Palm OS 3.1 or higher and approximately 116KB of memory. 

DOWNLOADING & INSTALLATION
Download the .zip archive for DietCalc version 1.5 here: http://pbrain.hypermart.net/files/dietcalc.zip

Unzip 'DietCalc.prc' and 'NSBRuntime.prc' and perform a HotSync function to transfer them to your Palm OS device. Both files are required in order for DietCalc to function. If you're upgrading from a previous version of DietCalc, it's a good idea to delete the old version from your Palm OS handheld before installing the new one.

IMPORTANT: 'NSBRuntime.prc' is the NS BASIC runtime module, and is required for any program written using NS BASIC. You should install the file included in the .zip archive in order to ensure that you're using correct version. This application was compiled under NS BASIC version 3.0.1, and will only work with NSBRuntime version 3.0.1; if you have other NS BASIC programs installed that require a different version of NSBRuntime, this application may crash or behave unpredictably.
