Most scientific calculators do this conversion, and app on smart
phones. 42s on iDevices is a good example.

You can write your own shell script to do this conversion.

Any calculator. A spreadsheet is good too as you can repeat the
formulas and do many points as needed in columns or rows.

Tell us more:

Which platform?

(PC/Mac/Unix computer, Android phone, ???)

What is the input format?

A text file/spreadsheet/web input form?
How are the fields separated?

(D)DDMM.MMMMM is the NMEA standard, i.e. no separator between degrees
and minutes.

How many do you need to convert?

1/10/1000/1e9?

The actual code is of course totally trivial. :-(

split_into_degrees_and minutes_with_fractions
decimal_degrees = degrees + minutes_with_fractions * ( 1.0/60.0 )

is the above NMEA standard degrees decimal minutes ?

problem is time used for converting degrees decimal minutes into S&T decimal degrees...

the calculator is possible but I should learn Excel so I'll try that.

times are 10-12 minutes for the standard onscreen Microsoft calculator, slightly less time using a GPS but more wear and tear.

datak:

Google Corpscon. This coordinate conversion program has a batch
conversion feature which will do what you seem to want.
