My wife is an interior designer and often needs to do awkward calculations involving distances, areas, and volumes. So I wrote a quicky calculator that lets you deal with them, both in metric and in feet/inches.
The program was written in Java and this is my first attempt at releasing a Java program using Java Web Start. Please let me know how this works and whether you’d change anything.
If, when you click the link below, you see a file that looks like XML or if you get a window that asks whether you want to open or save the file, then you first need to install Java Web Start.
So download this Distance Calculator and follow the on-screen directions.
