    Yes, unfortunately the program works in decimal.

        Ray,
        I had a problem as well, but I downloaded the zip file in lieu of the exe and it worked.

        Thanks for the tip Bob.
        regards,

            Really? and ah how many stone do you weigh?

            How much is this stone measurement anyway. I'm curious.

            Some countries just cannot give up the old ways.

            Over on the U.S. side of the pond we just seem to be a little
            more stubborn.

            With the length measurements I'm pretty much multilingual. With
            weights and volumes not so much.

              I weigh 85 kilograms.

              For info, a stone is fourteen pounds.

                For those without a converter program that's roughly 13 stone.

                Here is an online conversion site that does the most common
