Dear Matthew, When was it that Europe went to the metric road? Wasn't it a century ago? Why do you need imperial measurement system anyway? Those damn Yanks still use imperial system and I couldn't figure it out. I usually count my fingers backward to get an equivantent metric measurement. Now I use a digital micrometer to do trouble-free conversion and verification. Maybe you should chain a digital venier to your waist belt. It goes wherever you go. Sorry I can't help you with a little freeware conversion program, but telling you you are not alone when it boils down to imperial to metric conversion mess. Hey, it has been my dream for last two decades to come out with a metric version of Imperial English language. How is it to have, to speak and to write Metric English? It will be a piece of cake for those people whose mother tongues are not English. We should make everything simple, For example you spelled the word "convertion" and I spelled it "conversion" What a confusion!! Let's change it to "kon bel gen". A good metric word isn't it? Fr.

I know that this may sound a little basic, but does anyone have or know of a website where I can obtain a (freeware) little program that will convert thou to millimetres & visa versa ? For the past few years I have found it simple enough to pick up the digital verniers and use them but these days too many people keep borrowing them. As my math was never too good I find it easier to pick them up rather than a calculator. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC's web site (http://www.ipc.org) "On-Line Services" section for additional information.
