Default Decimal to Fraction Conversion - and Letter- and Number drill bits

Hi all -

We updated the decimal to fraction converter to include Letter/Number
and Metric drill sizes. Just did a brute-force lookup table with
appropriate sizes, after reviewing the information in this thread.

Not yet a graphical user interface, but maybe later.

The executable is compressed in "Fractions.zip" and downloadable from

Still Windows only... comments appreciated.


Well ... since it is Windows only, I won't be testing it.

Out of curiosity -- what language is it in? If not in something
Windows specific (like Visual Basic), and as a command-line program, it
should be quite easy to port to other systems. I've donated a couple of
programs in 'C' in source form (e.g. one for use while cutting threads),
and someone else modified it for Windows -- even using a GUI wrapper
around it.

Enjoy,
DoN.
