Conversion Buddy (tm) converts from one unit of measurement to another. As you type in your Convert From unit, the window scrolls to it like Windows Help Find. You need not know whether the unit is mass or volume. Then double click on a Convert To unit. That's the basic system. Over 1700 conversion factors are included and you can add your own (this is a real database program, add all you want). You can paste results into your working Windows document. Conversion Buddy "spells out" numerical results for text oriented documents. 23.45 can be reported as "twenty three point four five". Results are reported scientifically, with regard to the Rounding Error of the Factor, of the Input Value, and the Result. A Scientific Rounding calculator is included which will report a Result with accuracy analysis on almost any multiplication of two numbers. A help system containing all needed information. Two tutorials are included. Although the basic system may not need one, the Bulk Conversion system probably requires using the tutorial.

Conversion Buddy's rounding (known also as "precision") is based on the approach outlined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology SP811 report released last year. Conversion Buddy's help system contains that NIST SP811 section.
