CCUnits

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffAugust 24, 2001Overall, this strikes us as a quality tool for converting both simple and more specialized units of measurement. CCUnits, which includes 56 magnitudes, offers an easy-to-understand, if not particularly beautiful, interface. To perform a conversion, select the unit of measurement, then enter a number in the corresponding field. Results can be displayed in normal and scientific formats. Units of measurement include fractions, atomic weights, electricity, area, temperature, and kitchen fluid volume, as well as computer values such as radix and storage. You can customize the interface by choosing to only display certain units of measurement you regularly use, and you can create your own custom calculations. All things considered, CCUnits is a solid resource for both scientific and nonscientific types, and even novice users will be able to quickly get up to speed.
