Convert Package Interest?
If you haven't already, you might try "findFn" in the sos package to look for other functions that do things similar to what your functions do. If your package offers some functionality not present in other packages, I'd encourage you to submit it to CRAN. Again, if you haven't already done this, you might wish to add links to functions in other packages that do similar but different things. Spencer

I am thinking about submitting a package to CRAN that contains some units conversion functions that I use on a regular basis. Would this be helpful to the community, or would it be better to keep this as a personal package? I don't want to clutter CRAN. many thanks,
You might want to check out the udunits2 package on CRAN.
library(udunits2) ud.convert(1, "miles", "km")
