+# UnitConverterLib (Unit Converter Library)
+A Complete Unit Converter Library written in C#
+
+##Status 
+This project is still a Work In Progress and is not completed yet. A very high (or arbitrary) precision floating point class is needed to make accurate and precise calculations and conversions so I made a BigDecimal struct (no similar class is available in .NET) based on the BigInteger class provided in the .NET framework.
+
+The BigDecimal struct will be the main focus of this project until it is acceptably complete. The BigDecimal struct is found in /ArbitraryPrecision/. You are free to fork it and make changes to it to improve it.
