- Units: modified and compiled by Ron Charlton for Amiga using SAS/C v6.51.
- It compiles with no complaints.
-
- You must put the units.lib file someplace so `units' can find it.
-
- From CLI/Shell:
-
- There will be no problem if `units.lib' is in the current directory
- (the one you are CD'd to). Otherwise you can use an alias in your
- s:shell-startup file. Use PROGDIR: as shown below if you plan to
- keep `units.lib' in the same directory as `units':
-
- alias units units -f PROGDIR:units.lib
-
- If you want, you can provide an exact location for `units.lib':
-
- alias units units -f work:MyFavoriteDir/units.lib
-
- Or you can specify the location on the command line when you
- run the command.
-
- Work:> units -f work:MyFavoriteDir/units.lib
-
-
- From Workbench:
-
- Drag the `units' icon and the `units.lib' icon together to any drawer
- you like. You can put the documentation anywhere.
-
- If you really want to put `units.lib' in a drawer other than with
- `units', you may do so. You must describe where it is by adding
- a tooltype to the `units' icon. The tooltype must look like
-
- -f Work:MyFavoriteDir/units.lib
-
- See your workbench manual for help with editing tooltypes.
-
- ----
-
- Type `quit' OR Ctrl-\ (Ctrl key and \ key together) to end the program.
-
- You may want to read `units.lib' to see what sort of units may be converted.
-
- Some interesting conversions:
-
- You have: megatons-tnt
- You want: joules
- * 4.1730498e+15
- / 2.3963289e-16
-
- You have: furlongs/fortnight
- You want: meters/second
- * 0.0001663
- / 6012.8848
-
- I found the source on: usc.edu in
-
- /archive/usenet/sources/comp.sources.misc/volume38/units/part01.gz
-
- I made the following changes:
-
- I added a version string that can be found by Amiga's VERSION command.
- I corrected the entry for nmile in units.lib (it was missing a space).
- I generated and #included *_protos.h files to keep SAS/C happy.
- I added the ability to type `quit' to quit the program.
- I added Workbench support.
-
-
- Happy computing,
