I don't know. Also I don't know about kneejerk reactions of others, but I would suggest you program one for your own. It is one of the most simplistic programs to do, where you just replace the color with a number and have 3 .. 5 meanings depending the place the color is. It doesn't need to be pretty, but fast to use.

Here is the one of the most advanced resistor programs ever invented. http://tower-freshmanphysics.wikispaces....de-all.gif You can use it to make your own for prime. Later you can extend the program to calculate series and parallel resistors based on E-series etc.

Only that it is much quicker to read them naturally than using converter, but I assume resistor color coding is losing its importance these days when everything starts to be surface mounted circuitry. ?

Later on one should note that the resistor with only resistance is the ideal (=school book) case, real world resistors have also reactance (resistor have inner capacitance/capacitor and inductance/coil in parallel depending the construction of it) making it reactive and introducing a frequency dependency for it. In other words calculations are made in complex domain when frequency dependancy is critical. Hopefully I translated the "tances" correctly.
