# $Id: README,v 1.2 1996/04/06 06:00:59 thorpej Exp $
This is a program which I wrote as a clone of the UNIX 'units'
command. 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

.TH UNITS 1 "14 July 1993"
.SH NAME
units - conversion program
.SH SYNTAX
.B units
[-f filename] [-qv] [from-unit to-unit]
.SH SUMMARY
.TP 4
.B -f filename
Specifies the name of the units data file to load.
.LP
.TP 4
.B -q
Suppresses prompting of the user for units and the display of statistics
about the number of units loaded.
.LP
.TP 4
.B -v
Prints the version number.
.LP
.TP 4
.B from-unit to-unit
Allows a single unit conversion to be done directly from the command
line. No prompting will occur. The units program will print out
only the result of this single conversion.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The units program converts quantities expression in various scales to
their equivalents in other scales. The units program can only
handle multiplicative scale changes. It cannot convert Centigrade
to Fahrenheit, for example. It works interactively by prompting
the user for input:
.nf
You have: meters
You want: feet
* 3.2808399
/ 0.3048
You have: cm^3
You want: gallons
* 0.00026417205
/ 3785.4118
.fi
Powers of units can be specified using the '^' character as shown in
the example, or by simple concatenation: 'cm3' is equivalent to 'cm^3'.
Multiplication of units can be specified by using spaces, a dash or
an asterisk. Division of units is indicated by the slash ('/').
Note that multiplication has a higher precedence than division,
so 'm/s/s' is the same as 'm/s^2' or 'm/s s'.
If the user enters incompatible unit types, the units program will
print a message indicating that the units are not conformable and
it will display the reduced form for each unit:
.nf
You have: ergs/hour
You want: fathoms kg^2 / day
conformability error
2.7777778e-11 kg m^2 / sec^3
2.1166667e-05 kg^2 m / sec
.fi
.LP
The conversion information is read from a units data file. The default
file includes definitions for most familiar units, abbreviations and
metric prefixes. Some constants of nature included are:
.in +4m
.ta
.ta 9m +
.nf
pi ratio of circumference to diameter
c speed of light
e charge on an electron
g acceleration of gravity
force same as g
mole Avogadro's number
water pressure per unit height of water
mercury pressure per unit height of mercury
au astronomical unit
.fi
.in -4m
\'Pound' is a unit of mass. Compound names are run together
so 'poundforce' is a unit of force. British units that differ from their
US counterparts are prefixed with 'br', and currency is prefixed with
its country name: 'belgiumfranc', 'britainpound'. When searching for
a unit, if the specified string does not appear exactly as a unit
name, then the units program will try to remove a trailing 's' or
a trailing 'es' and check again for a match.
.LP
All of these definitions can be read in the standard units file, or you
can supply your own file. A unit is specified on a single line by
giving its name and an equivalence. One should be careful to define
new units in terms of old ones so that a reduction leads to the
primitive units which are marked with '!' characters.
The units program will not detect infinite loops that could be caused
by careless unit definitions.
.LP
Prefixes are defined in the same was as standard units, but with
a trailing dash at the end of the prefix name.
.SH BUGS
.LP
The effect of including a '/' in a prefix is surprising.
.LP
Exponents entered by the user can be only one digit.
You can work around this by multiplying several terms.
.LP
The user must use | to indicate division of numbers and / to
indicate division of symbols. This distinction should not
be necessary.
.LP
The program contains various arbitrary limits on the length
of the units converted and on the length of the data file.
.LP
The program should use a hash table to store units so that
it doesn't take so long to load the units list and check
for duplication.
