The Metric / English Conversion Calculator utilizes Visual Basic script to run. Your browser must be capable of this in order to run it properly. Major browsers like Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 should have no problems. The setup is rather straight-forward. Select either distance, weight, area or volume from the menu above. Then choose the units in Metric and English you want to work with, and put a value for one of the two. Use the right arrow to convert from Metric to English; you have to have a Metric unit typed in. Use the left arrow to convert from English to Metric; you have to have an English unit typed in. Reset will clear both sides of the form.
