Why write another unit converter? There are plenty of them out there. Well, I couldn't find one that worked quite the way I wanted.
With the ConvertAll software, users will be able to combine the units any way they want. If you want to convert from inches per decade, that's fine. Or from meter-pounds. Or from cubic nautical miles. The units don't have to make sense to anyone else.
· The base units for conversion may be either typed (with auto-completion) or selected from a list.
· Units may be selected using either an abbreviation or a full name.
· Units may be combined with the "*" and "/" operators.
· Units may be raised to powers with the "^" operator.
· Units with non-linear scales, such as temperature, can also be converted.
· A unit list may be filtered and searched
· Numbers may be entered on either the "From" or the "To" units side, for conversions in both directions.
· Basic mathematical expressions may be entered in place of numbers.
· Options control the formatting of numerical results.
· The unit data includes over 400 units.
· The format of the unit data file makes it easy to add additional units.
· Command line options are available to do conversions without the GUI.
