I tried BTU, ton, therm. They did not work. I suggest that you consult the NIST guide to SI units: http://physics.nist.gov/Pubs/SP811/appenB8.html this will give you a fairly complete list of units. I don't know how elaborate you want your program to be but you are up to a grat challenge. Good luck!

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. http://www.rossmania.com/convertunits.asp Thank you for your time, Ross DeMeyere ------------------------------------------------------------ DeMeyere Design Incorporated 1951 McKinley ST NE Minneapolis, MN 55418-4816 tel:612.789.2052 fax:612.789.8028 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.demeyere.com/ ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
