I'm searching for a FREE mertic conversion tool I can download to install on RHEL 5.

Any suggestions?

I looked am not finding what I want (at least on the Linux side)

or are you looking for something for the command line?

nope -- prefer an application -- I need simple things for my users

There are hundreds of them online. If really have to have it locally on your system, a shell script would probably do.

Didn't see your reply. The one I posted above seems quite straightforward. It takes no options or arguments.

Cool. Gonvert is a unit conversion program, It works in Gnome on Centos 5.

If you were looking for a command line application, fedora comes with the "units" command which is highly useful in scripting.

AWESOME -- Thanks.

Downloaded gonvert -- extracting now, taking forever....

I will take a look at the scripting on the side -- that's another great option and great book

Marking as solved --
