        !             3: This is a program which I wrote as a clone of the UNIX 'units'
        !             4: command.  I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work,
        !             5: with some restrictions.  I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and
        !             6: Ultrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1.

        !             8: This program differs from the unix units program in the following
        !             9: ways:
        !            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
