I tried installing Converter and Currency Converter 1.5, but apparently I'm not intelligent enough to figure out how to get them to perform their functions. Yes. I did restart Fx after installation.
This need arose as I was surfing British web sites and trying to compare or understand prices in USD but I figured that the same tool should - in an ideal world - allow one to convert between Celsius and Fahrenheit, metric and decimal, decimal and feet and inches, etc. If anyone knows of one - or can tell me how to use the ones I've tried, I would be very grateful for instruction.
Oh! And while I'm here, can someone explain the VAT to me? I understand that it is a tax paid at point of purchase, but what if the buyer is not a citizen of the country applying the VAT and VAT is included in the sales price? Would , a Texan , have to pay a British VAT, for example?

TIA
UPDATE ****************************
The currency converter 1.5 is working now. Don't know why it waited to kick in, but it now gives me the conversion options box.
