Long Shot Question

Postby Travis » Sun Oct 17, 2010 9:38 pm

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?

[color=#000000]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.

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  :).
