           _U_n_i_t_s converts quantities expressed in various standard
           scales to their equivalents in other scales.  It works
           interactively in this fashion:

                You have:  iiiinnnncccchhhh
                You want:  ccccmmmm
                        * 2.540000e+00
                        / 3.937008e-01

           A quantity is specified as a multiplicative combination of
           units optionally preceded by a numeric multiplier.  Powers
           are indicated by suffixed positive integers, division by the
           usual sign:

                You have:  11115555 llllbbbbssss ffffoooorrrrcccceeee////iiiinnnn2222
                You want:  aaaattttmmmm
                        * 1.020689e+00
                        / 9.797299e-01

           _U_n_i_t_s only does multiplicative scale changes; thus it can
           convert Kelvin to Rankine, but not Celsius to Fahrenheit.
           Most familiar units, abbreviations, and metric prefixes are
           recognized, together with a generous leavening of exotica
           and a few constants of nature including:
                ppppiiii       ratio of circumference to diameter,
                cccc        speed of light,
                eeee        charge on an electron,
                gggg        acceleration of gravity,
                ffffoooorrrrcccceeee    same as gggg,
                mmmmoooolllleeee     Avogadro's number,
                wwwwaaaatttteeeerrrr    pressure head per unit height of water,
                aaaauuuu       astronomical unit.

           PPPPoooouuuunnnndddd is not recognized as a unit of mass; llllbbbb is.  Compound
           names are run together, (e.g.  lllliiiigggghhhhttttyyyyeeeeaaaarrrr).  British units
           that differ from their U.S. counterparts are prefixed thus:
           bbbbrrrrggggaaaalllllllloooonnnn.  For a complete list of units, type:
