I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work, 5with some restrictions. I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and 6Ultrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1. 7 8This program differs from the unix units program in the following 9ways: 10 it can gracefully handle exponents larger than 9 in output 11 it uses 'e' to denote exponentiation in numbers 12 prefixes are listed in the units file 13 it tries both -s and -es plurals 14 it allows use of * for multiply and ^ for exponentiation in the input 15 the output format is somewhat different 16 17Adrian Mariano (adrian@cam.cornell.edu or mariano@geom.umn.edu) 18 19
