1.1       deraadt     3:
                      4: This is a program which I wrote as a clone of the UNIX 'units'
                      5: command.  I threw it together in a couple days, but it seems to work,
                      6: with some restrictions.  I have tested it under DOS with Borland C and
                      7: Ultrix 4.2, and SunOS 4.1.
                      8:
                      9: This program differs from the unix units program in the following
                     10: ways:
                     11:    it can gracefully handle exponents larger than 9 in output
                     12:    it uses 'e' to denote exponentiation in numbers
                     13:    prefixes are listed in the units file
                     14:    it tries both -s and -es plurals
                     15:    it allows use of * for multiply and ^ for exponentiation in the input
                     16:    the output format is somewhat different
