MetriConvert - Imperial to metric converter

by Andrew Wineberg


This handy utility converts many common weights and measurements between metric (SI) units and older or traditional units.

The program can be loaded by double-clicking on its icon in a filer window, or by clicking on its icon in the RISC User menu program. Once it has loaded, an icon will appear on the icon bar and this can be clicked on to open the MetriConvert window.

The window offers a selection of weights and measures for conversion. The required conversion can be selected by clicking on the corresponding radio icon. Entering a measurement into either of the two writable icons results in an instant conversion.

The program works to a high degree of accuracy internally, but final results are rounded to two decimal places, and the input measurements are truncated to two places. Because of this rounding, it may sometimes occur that a calculation in one direction may calculate slightly differently in the other direction.
