Hi.

I have written a small tool converts ancient measures into today's measures. For all those who may need or want this small Windows program...

IMPORTANT
If you want it, contact me. I will send it by e-mail to you. It is a small software of only 700 KB unpacked, and packed of only 400 KB.
Or, you can download it at the Forum Navis Romana. It's there inside the software section.
Address: http://Navis.TerraRomana.org/Forum

Greetings,

It looks really good, but a bit of (constructive!) criticisms. The main one is that you don't include Greek currency, which would be a very helpful inclusion (Obols <-> Drachmae <-> Talents). The other point is that the descriptive font is very small and hard to read being crammed in between the two tables. Other than that, though, it's a great little program that I can see getting a lot of use out of!
Greetings, MeinPanzer.

Thanks for your feedback. Yes, it is true: currently I have only the ancient Roman measures in use, since the focus of the Terra Romana project is just the Roman era.

But you have a point still, and if you could point to a website with exact measures of the ancient Greek time, I will review the software and MIGHT include the ancient Greek measures, as well. Not sure, though.

Small font: true. I will try to find another way for that special text. I knew it might be a problem.

Thanks again for your feedback. More feedbacks welcome!

Sven
The website I mentioned in my reply email has Greek and other measures Sven- you did get it didn't you? If not it's this one: http://www.footrule.com/1/conversn/convj...cubit&ac=1
Matt:

Thanks. Will check.

Sven
Could you also write a tool for converting American measures in international ones?

Just kiddin'. Big Grin
Eleatic: Ha ha ha! True. But didn't mean you the English measures?

By the way, my software does this, up to a certain extent (distances).
