About Frink

Frink's web interface is a browser page for entering Frink expressions for calculation, unit conversion, and lookup. Users type an expression in the "From:" box and click "Calculate." A value in the "To:" box is treated as the right-hand side of a conversion, so entering 10 meters in the "From" box and feet in the "To" box gives the same result as typing 10 meters -> feet in the "From" box.

The page states that Frink is case-sensitive and that unrecognized names can produce "undefined symbol" errors. It recommends reading the Frink documentation and sample calculations first. Variables set in the interface last only for the duration of a session. The interface is powered by Frink Server Pages. The page also mentions an applet-based alternative, which requires Java 1.3.1 or later.
