RE: CONVERT and variables for arguments
I have now incorporated this capability into my ZIPP program.
I have made some usability changes.
I changed the sequence to prompt for from units first...
What's the point in typing 12 for 12cm before you have checked the program does cm: it might only do mm and m. This also means the units can be included in the input value prompt.
Doing it the other way round, it was easy to tap the wrong units and get no warning, particularly since my screen is smaller than recommended.
I have noticed that some HP units give an inconsistent units error - I wonder whether IFERR would trap these cases? (update: yes it can)
Hope you find this program useful (there are some units not included).
