Hi. I'm looking for an application to do unit conversion in Lenny,
google isn't helping much. Any suggestions? Thank you.
For one off calculations I find qalculate quite useful. Apart from
converting units, it is a fully fledged GUI calculator that is useful
for many scientific calculations and has stored values for many physical
and other units and constants. It can also convert things like US$ to
Euro or more exotic currencies, where the exchange rates are updated via
the internet.
I like qalculate because it
- can be used it on the command line
Put this in your .bashrc :
calc() { perl -e "print ''.($*).\"\\n\""; }
$ calc 4 \* 7
28
- will solve equations like '2x=4' or whatever
