Lee,

While I have a fancy converting calculator, I find it easier to use a
converting website such as the WWW Unit Converter at:

http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter/

It converts most measurements (sorry, no cubits!), it's free, and I can cut
and paste really long numbers into spreadsheets and reports without
worrying about eleven decimal spaces!
