   This program was written using Microsoft Visual Basic.  You will need 
Windows Version 3.0 or higher running in standard or enhanced mode. This program consist of 3 files.
   CRETE.EXE
   VBRUN100.DLL
   CRETE.WRI

Copy all 3 files to your windows directory.  Set the program up from the Program Manager.  Go to the File menu and choose New.  Then choose Program Item and fill in the Description and Command Line options.  The calculator will operate the same as any other window program.

      The calculator will calculate the number of cubic yards required to pour any rectangular object such as driveways, patios, footings, walls, piers, etc.  Enter all dimensions in feet and inches.  For example, lets say you have a 20' 5" x 16' 3"  driveway, and a 3' 0" x 27' 9" service walk to pour and you would like to calculate the amount of concrete needed.  Calculate the drive first.  In the length section enter 20 in the feet box then enter 5 in the inches box.  Next in the width section enter 16 in the feet box and 3 in the inches box.  In the thickness section enter 0 in the feet box and 4 in the inches box.  Click on the calculate button and the amount of cubic yards needed will appear in the top display.  You can keep a running total of your calculations by clicking the Add To Total button.  The last calculation will appear in the Total display on the right.  To clear your last calculation click on the Clear Entries button and you can start another calculation such as the service walk.  After you've calculated the yards for the service walk click the Add To Total button and the current total and your last calculation will be added and appear in the Total Display. You can do this as many times as needed to keep a running total of different sections of a pour.  To clear the Total display click on the Clear Total button.
