Improved version of the Avondale College, Auckland project: https://github.com/JDCRecomendable/unit-converter-old
This project is the product of a project required by the NCEA Curriculum, Standard AS91906. This project was overseen by teachers from Avondale College, Auckland.
Unit Converter is a WinForms-based unit conversion software project that aims to provide a streamlined interface for unit conversion for students, scientists and businesses. Included in the program is support for over 370 different pre-defined units categorised into 16 different physical quantities. In addition, to support the needs of certain users, the program permits the addition of custom units.
The program is free/libre and open-source software. The source code is structured to allow for easy modification by other parties. Specifically, the core classes are split from the front-end-specific classes. As well, a definitions file is included that lists pre-defined units and their relative values to the S.I. unit of their physical quantities.

- Custom units at the moment cannot be saved and will have to be manually added at the next launch.
- Allow custom units to be saved by the program and loaded automatically on start-up without user intervention.
- Allow the automated processing of multiple conversions. E.g. values to be converted can be stored in a CSV file that can then be loaded, read and processed by the program.
