Since 0 C = 273 K and not vice versa, this
should be celcius + 273

should be ((farenheit - 32) / 1.8) + 273

should be kelvin - 273

should be (kelvin - 273) * 1.8 + 32

Why not include reamur? (= 0.8 * celcius)

Is "farenheit" or "fahrenheit" the correct spelling?

Use my lynxmail, get the page, save the mail, open it with Netscape.
Hopefully it works.

To: pbmserv at demo.bsdi.com
Subject: get [-t] [-uu] URL [URL ...]

-t  textified, no longer HTML (but with URLs of references)
-uu uuencode (you need this when you get e.g. a zipfile)
URL http://members.aol.com/FilesEu/whatever.html (I don't know the filename)

It works with ftp:// as well.

Btw, send a message there, with the word 'help' in the subject...

Shouldn't that be

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 ... ?

                                  ^^^^^^^^
From win32.hlp:

DWORD GetPrivateProfileString(
    LPCTSTR lpAppName,          // points to section name
    LPCTSTR lpKeyName,          // points to key name
    LPCTSTR lpDefault,          // points to default string
    LPTSTR  lpReturnedString,   // points to destination buffer
    DWORD   nSize,              // size of destination buffer
    LPCTSTR lpFileName          // points to initialization filename
);

I believe you should substitute C_INT (four-byte integer) for C_DOUBLE!

C_DOUBLE is an eight-byte floating point type, isn't it?

RtnBufLen is definitely a C_INT.
