I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work, 51.1Scgdwith some restrictions. I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and 61.1ScgdUltrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1. 71.1Scgd 81.1ScgdThis program differs from the unix units program in the following 91.1Scgdways: 101.1Scgd it can gracefully handle exponents larger than 9 in output 111.1Scgd it uses 'e' to denote exponentiation in numbers 121.1Scgd prefixes are listed in the units file 131.1Scgd it tries both -s and -es plurals 141.1Scgd it allows use of * for multiply and ^ for exponentiation in the input 151.1Scgd the output format is somewhat different 161.1Scgd 171.1ScgdAdrian Mariano (adrian@cam.cornell.edu or mariano@geom.umn.edu) 181.1Scgd 19
