The Currency Converter 2 is a freeware program to convert Between over 200 currencies. You can keep all the exchange rates up-to-date by using the one-button Internet Update-function (with proxy support) to load the Exchange Rates from the Internet.
It requires Win95 with IE4+, or any newer Microsoft Windows operating system.
Currconv2 hasn't been updated in ages, and it certainly isn't supported software anymore. As such many functions might not work with the latest Windows XP+ versions. Currconv2 however should still be solid on older versions of Windows. If you use CC2 you might have found IMF support was Broken. IMF today only reports some 6 orso currencies. I've tried fixing it, but that didn't make much sense.
I've changed IMF support to European Central Bank. If you'd like support for European Central Bank added to your Currency Converter 2 (instead of IMF) download the update file called data.zip.
Close Currconv2. Then just Extract the files from the zip archive, and copy them to the data folder of the Currency Converter overwriting the existing IMF files. The data folder is most likely located somewhere like "C:/Program Files/Currconv2/data" and holds files like IMF.XML and IMF.INI. The data.zip file also contains updated versions of IMF.XML and IMF.INI only they work with the European Central Bank. So overwrite the existing files with the ones from the data.zip file you just downloaded.
When you now open Currconv2 again, you should see mentions of European Central Bank and rates updated on August 9, 2006. If you do not, something went wrong. Check to make sure you really extract files to the currconv2/data folder and not to currconv2/data/data which is a common mistake in this case.
I did some testing to see if the rates got read correctly, and it looked OK, but I didn't do a whole lot of it. So, at first, keep an eye on the results - don't accept it blindly - until you feel more comfortable with the changes.
