The compiler of that conversions tool, miskairal, also helps us get the Google search and started the Immediate Help links. She's very busy with other projects on the Net and in Oz (Australia) and I haven't heard from her in ages. A number of Guppylog veterans really appreciated her enthusiasm, helpfulness, common sense and good cheer. I haven't heard from her since last year.

There are undoubtedly others who could do the Java script work needed. But there may be other priorities for them.

I do appreciate the warning. So far just using the conversions has worked for everyone. Just don't reverse engineer everything. :)

If you are uncomfortable with the GL conversion page, Google (naturally) offers a lot of sites which do conversions. The Conversion Calculator http://www.infoplease.com/pages/unitconversion.html
is one I have found very useful.

That you have found how reversing calculations skews things and that I have found how to whittle away a figure to oblivion suggests that we have too much time. ;)
