Subject: YP Vernier 1.1fr (Learn how to read a vernier, french version)
This is the French version of YP Vernier. YP Vernier is an educational
program showing how to use a vernier scale to measure length with great
precision. YP Vernier simulates a vernier caliper on the screen. Using a
scroll bar, the user moves the movable jaw, and the corresponding numerical
value is displayed on the screen. The program can also be used in "quiz
mode": the movable jaw is placed at a random position, and the user try to
find the corresponding measure.
New in this version:
This new version provides two additional ways to slide the movable jaw: in
addition to the scroll bar, you can now use the arrow keys of the keyboard,
or grab the caliper with the mouse pointer.
System Requirements: MacOS 7, 8 or 9.
