Imperial to Metric conversion

[dansxmods]

With the recent birth of my second daughter I wanted to convert her weight in kilos to pounds and ounces. I did a quick search on the net and found only one coversion page that would convert to pounds and ounces and thought to myself I could do a quick script for that purpose. Here is what I wrote.

$kgsInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("4.85", 120, 20, 97, 21)
$lbsLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Pounds", 70, 55, 40, 21)

You can convert from imperial to metric and vice versa. I am considering putting more conversions in with it when I start getting more sleep.

I like it, it's just plain simple =)

You could make a general app for converting lots of units to lots of other units.
