i had a go at it. This one converts up to 5 decimal places (you could probably mod it to do more, but then you get pretty close to the limits of float-based arithmetic, i think).
i was getting glitches, because of the known issue where 58/1000 comes out as 57.99999.. , so i have just added a tiny amount to each number to stop this.
also, the one i have done here splits a number into whole and fractional parts, but it would be trivial to multiply the whole by the denominator to express the number as a vulgar fraction (3/2, etc)

hi there,
Is there an external that converts decimal numbers to fractions, like 1.5 => 3 / 2 ?
I bet it's complicated to do it as a vanilla patch, right?
thanks alex
