Software for RISC OS

UnitConv

This application converts between various units, generally SI and Imperial, but there are also some more specialised conversions, such as energy equivalents. Also included are some other converters, such as a bin/oct/hex/dec converter, a gas molecule speed calculator and an image size reckoner.

UnitConv is 26/32-bit neutral and should be compatible with all versions of RISC OS from 3 to 6.

UnitConv has been tested successfully on the BeagleBoard (ARMv7/Cortex-A8/OMAP3 port).

This latest version of UnitConv is Toolbox based, and requires the RISC OS Toolbox modules. Systems running RISC OS 4, 5 and 6 are supplied with the toolbox modules. If you have an earlier machine which does not have the toolbox modules they can be downloaded from RISCOS Ltd.

An earlier non-toolbox version (2.10) is still available, see below, if you do not wish to use toolbox applications.

You may download the complete version 2.32 as a zip archive.

Changes in 2.30
