%%name: units

%%short-description: Unit conversion and calculation

%%full-description: The program converts quantities expressed in
various scales to their equivalents in other scales. Units can only
handle multiplicative scale changes. For example, it cannot convert
Celsius to Fahrenheit but it can convert temperature differences
between those teperature scales.

The units are defined externally in an extensive, well annotated data
file that defines over 2000 units. You can also provide your own data
file.
