I was clearing out some room on my computer the other night, and mistakenly deleted a very useful conversion program which could convert any measurement I've ever heard of into any format I needed it. I'm trying in vain to get it back, but I can't remember what the proper name was for it, the folder it was in is gone and the trash has been emptied. The only thing I have left is the icon on my desktop, and I can't figure out how to get the information I need out of that. The image below is what I have left. Does anyone recognize it?

I had that a long time ago and lost it somehow. But now, thanks to Travis posting this thread and Groundbound for responding, I have it again. It's a great little program.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

They way things are going, you may soon be able to mail in your order by passenger pigeon -- and they'll keep the pigeon for payment... with a few feathers reimbursement for the exchange; that should tickle you.

Excellent question Travis. Not only got you back the 'convert' but several of us got it too. That site led to some others and I was downloading my little heart out

Travis asked his question, and I googled "convert conversion software" and there it was.
