Units: A Unit Conversion Program
1. Overview of units
The units program converts quantities expressed in various scales
to their equivalents in other scales. The units program can
handle multiplicative scale changes as well as nonlinear
conversions such as Fahrenheit to Celsius.
The units are defined in an external data file. You can use the
extensive data file that comes with this program, or you can
provide your own data file to suit your needs.
You can use the program interactively
with prompts, or you can use it
from the command line.
