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...

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. 

Here's my favorite places:
