Unit conversion app?
 

Looking for standalone metric-english conversion unit program (Celcius to/from Farenheit, pounds to/from kgs etc.)
Do you know whether such app exists for 2008?
Thanks.

Goolge can do it try "30 celsius to fahrenheit"

But of course you have to be online for that to work....

If you don't mind commandline utilities you might want to try units

http://www.gnu.org/software/units/units.html

a package for maemo is available at

and of course there's an addon to emacs...

Sure! I've recompiled the GNU units program for Chinook (maemo 2008), since I wasn't able to find a copy in a repository. I've also got the GUI gonvert
graphical (Pygtk) units conversion package. http://www.unihedron.com/projects/gonvert/downloads/ on my N810. I wrote a trivial shell script to install the program.

If you give me your email address, I'll gladly supply the download link.

I am not posting the URL because they are currently hosted in a place that's not suitable for long-term use. These programs need someone else to package them nicely as ".deb" files and to get them included in a proper repository for easy public access. I'd welcome any help with those tasks.

Wonderful! Can you PM it?

This way, I can contact the people who've downloaded it to let them know when the software finally gets into a real repository, when it gets into a maemo garage project, or about any updates.
