For lack of other things to do, I decided that as I am learning to program
ASP pages, I might as well try to do something useful. I decided to write a
plain text conversion utility that will take keyed in text in other-units
and convert them to an internationally acceptable unit (ie, metric).
I decided not to allow metric to other-unit conversions (as that would not
be very useful to me ;)
Currently it can handle input like : 5 miles; 4 gallons 6 ounces; etc.
(lets see which units I am missing...)
It can handle fractional parts only if you use a plus sign in between the
whole number and the fractional number (if a whole number exists), like :
1/2 gallon; 5+9/16 inches; etc.
I am still working out some bugs, and was hoping that a few of you would
check it out and let me know what you think. It is a bare-bones page at this
point and I will make it look pretty later.
