I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work, 516186Salexwith some restrictions. I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and 616186SalexUltrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1. 716186Salex 816186SalexThis program differs from the unix units program in the following 916186Salexways: 1016186Salex it can gracefully handle exponents larger than 9 in output 1116186Salex it uses 'e' to denote exponentiation in numbers 1216186Salex prefixes are listed in the units file 1316186Salex it tries both -s and -es plurals 1416186Salex it allows use of * for multiply and ^ for exponentiation in the input 1516186Salex the output format is somewhat different 1616186Salex 1716186SalexAdrian Mariano (adrian@cam.cornell.edu or mariano@geom.umn.edu) 1816186Salex 19
