8: This program differs from the unix units program in the following

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
