I haven't been able to find a request for something like this in the forms, so I thought I would mention it.
It's an open source unit conversion tool called Gonvert.
Description:
* gonvert is a conversion utility that allows conversion between many units like CGS, Ancient, Imperial with many categories like length, mass, numbers, etc. All units converted values shown at once as you type. Easy to add/change your own units. Written in Python,pygtk,libgade.
Features:
* 50 categories, 898 units. See the entire list here.
* All units converted values shown at once as you type.
* Descriptions for many units.
* Sort by Unit Name, Value, or Unit symbol.
* Find Units.
* Fully OPEN source so that you can add your own custom calculations and descriptions.
That program is definitely more complete than the one I am using right now.
I use a FF extension that has quite a few conversions built right in.

It requires both GTK and python, so it'll be huge.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
on portablefreeware.com, there is something like that already portable...

and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
