File in XP to Windows 7 (txt / exe)

08/31/2012 1:11 PM

"Convert" Imperial to Metric, units etc. and lots more besides. I had this programme in XP sent as a txt file and then I converted it to an exe file. I am now on Windows 7 and you cannot convert like this (apparently! - I've tried and failed). If anyone knows this small programme and has any idea of how to get it to Windows 7 (or has it suitable for Windows 7)I would love to know about it.

Many thanks

What I did was to create a zip file of it. Then I put that file in the new hard drive and unzipped it.

Josh Madison is awesome! I've been using his convert program for over 10 years. I even sent him a nice "donation" I figured it saved me hundreds of hours in my job. This is the link for it. Just copy and paste into your browser. Consider sending him a donation if it's helped you.
