The book "The Beginner's Guide to Mathematica, Version 3" by Jerry Glynn and Theodore Gray has a chapter (60) on "The Units Calculator". The electronic version of the book makes the conversion factors into a nice palette. Their example (if you get the electronic version) could probably be easily modified to suit your needs. I hope this helps. Bruce Atwood Michael A.
