About Convert

This is a little demonstration of how to create a pair of editable text views which are linked in a way similar to the units conversions in the built-in formulae.

This program performs the trivial task of converting degrees C into degrees F, and vice versa.  Write a number into one side, and as soon as it is recognised, it is converted into the text in the other side.  Note the use of flags to decide whether or not to perform the useful code in updateText - without these flags, updateText in one view calls it in the other, and so on, in an infinite loop.

All the code should be self-explanatory.
