Yeah, but that's too easy....Cubit x 1.5= feet  or, for you metric pundits,
Cubit x .4572= meters

I'm having to assume the Cubit we are referring to is today's standard.  I
do have conversions for ancient Babylon, Burma, Cambodia, Egypt (long and
short ancient cubits), Mesopotamia, Pakistan, Rome, and veritable who's who
of historical and well known places, but all of these only make reference to
the metric system.  It's a bit more work Rick, but if you could specify
which cubit you need converted, I could probably provide the formula for it.
A little work in XL would make short work of converting in the future.

For extra credit, can anyone tell the class how many (modern) cubits we are
from the center of the Andromeda Galaxy?  Don't wear out your zero key!
