Source code and files for the world's best unit converter and decomposer:
Furlongs to leagues? Piece of cable. Mega-fortnights to atto-Age-Of-The-Universe? No sennight.
Want to break down units such as density into mass per volume (maybe carats per cubic acre). It's here.
Download unitsProgram.tar in the directory with the source files; untar it (tar -xf unitsProgram.tar) and type java SFFC to start the converter program. The source code files are also in this directory, /export/home/higbie/public_html, and an SFFtables and higbie subdirectories, respectively. Once you've downloaded the tar file open a terminal window in that directory and
type tar -xf unitsProgram.tar ; java SFFC
to extract and run the converter. This converter requires Java 1.5. If a the app doesn't run, type java -version to verify that your java interpreter is new enough.
If you have problems, you can download the source files, *.java, and compile them locally by typing
type javac *java
but this still requires version 1.5 of the Java SDK.
The conversions are controlled by a series of tables in SFFtables subdirectory. If there are other conversions that you wish, add them to the table using any text editor. The columns in the table are the unit name, abbreviation, value of unit in the MKS system. The units are displayed in the order shown and depend on the basic MKS unit being the first entry in the table. You should insert new entries in their proper alphabetical sequence below the MKS unit.
The number of basic units in the tables ranges from 4 (accleration: m/s^2, gee, f/s^2, m/s per day) to about 50 for distance or length in more than a dozen categories. For old units such as length and mass (use mass for most weight conversions) there are dozens of archaic units that are most likely to interest Fantasy authors and readers or medieval history buffs.
