MetricMaster is a measurement unit conversions calculator containing
over 2,000 metric/S.I., imperial, U.S., and other units in its database,
most to 14 significant digit precision. New units can be easily added by
the user. MM Supports ft/in/fractions, scientific notation and control of
significant digits. MM can also convert currencies, clock times, and many
physical constants. Version 3.0 has been given an elegant aqua style
interface and now contains 600 definitions for units and unit groups (in
case you didn't know what a weber was). MM also contains extensive
information on the history and development of modern measurement systems.
