Hi Mike, thanks for your update!

In a way -- except that our client is not a unit conversion client but a library that is embeddable into mathematical web documents (XHTML containing MathML and OpenMath) and makes web services usable in these documents. > Hopefully in the next couple of weeks there will be a web version > accessible to all (i'll let you know when its avilable). Sounds good! Indeed I'd like to encourage you to announce it on this mailing lists, as well as [email protected] (subscribe at http://lists.jacobs-university.de/mailman/listinfo/project-mathweb), and probably others. > tbh my time is quite limited; at the moment i have just limited the > input/output units to only converting between matching same dimensions > as given in the .sts files, also i am finding it hard to get > speed/accelerations working since they are quite different than > standard units. For our current purposes it is sufficient to have a working conversion among _some_ common units, which is accessible via the web. We are not engineers, but also developing research prototypes and demos. And of course we prefer OpenMath-powered software over all those non-semantic unit converters out there ;-) Thanks for your help! Cheers, Christoph -- Christoph Lange, Jacobs Univ.
