This is not quite what I wanted!

I want something that will convert meter to ft./in.

e.g. 1.70m ~ 5 foot and 8 inches (5 * 30.48 + 8 * 2.54)
1 ft = 30.48cm
1 in = 2.54cm

But thanks, anyway.

maybe one of these will work:

--If not I've got an old spreadsheet where I worked out the feet and
inches from decimals (the metric conversion is easy to add)--I'll try to
find it tomorrow.

Calendar magic works in decimals, but gives
66.929133858268 inches, which if divided by 12 gives

5 ft 6.93"

It will also convert balthazars to salmanazars, oxgangs to roods, but
doesn't refer to bloody roods

I love it

Alex has done a great job with his program BUT an answer to 12 decimal
places is just plain dopey IMO. How many people need that degree of
information ?

Almost as irritating as the equally silly time on the opening screen
of Calendar Magic.

Currently now 09:29:40 on Julian day 2453209.47998

Just who around here wants to know what day it is to five decimal
places ? Or how many "clock watchers" need to watch each
second go by second by second ?

I have suggested to Alex he provide an option for end users to select
how many decimal places they would like for displays/computations but
he says that I am the only Calendar Magic user who finds the above
absurd/irritating. A pity IMO. :-(

Regards, John.

Oh come on... A good part of Calendar Magic's appeal is this wholly
OTT, geeky charm.

I've got to agree with that, I can round down if I want.

And I love a calculator that takes me back to the Sinclair and reverse
Polish notation.

(If that last sentence is a load of tosh, please don't jump on me, I never
_did_ understand it

I don't exactly understand what do you mean by 'takes me back to Sinclair',
but I am also a fan of Reverse Polish Notation calculators like the HP
calculators. (I started on a HP-48 calculator)

What was that flat one, size of a 4x6 index card? 10c? Once you have been
Poled in Reverse, you never go back.

Clive Sinclair, now Sir, started by flogging kits - the digital watch that
needed 2 (human) hands to work it; selfbuild calculators for loadsa money;
the famed spectrum computer, and the bathtub tricycle with a washing
machine engine that would solve all traffic problems.

You have to be British....

I know the Sinclair computers. But since I am Brazilian, I didn't understand
it 100%.
