I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work, with some restrictions. I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and Ultrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1. This program differs from the unix units program in the following ways: it can gracefully handle exponents larger than 9 in output it uses 'e' to denote exponentiation in numbers prefixes are listed in the units file it tries both -s and -es plurals it allows use of * for multiply and ^ for exponentiation in the input the output format is somewhat different Adrian Mariano (adrian@cam.cornell.edu or mariano@geom.umn.edu)
