+Description: converts between different systems of units
+ GNU 'units' program converts quantities expressed in various scales
+ to their equivalents in other scales. The 'units' program can only
+ handle multiplicative scale changes directly. It uses a functional
+ notation for "nonlinear" conversions such a Fahrenheit temperature
+ to Celsius temperature.

+This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of the FSF's GNU units
+utility. GNU 'units' program converts quantities expressed in various
+scales to their equivalents in other scales.
+
+This package was put together by me, James Troup <james@nocrew.org>,
+from the GNU sources, which I obtained from
+sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk:/pub/gnu/units-1.54.tar.gz.
+
+The current version of the package was obtained from
+ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/units
+by John Hasler, the current Debian maintainer.
+
+
+The changes were minimal:
+
+o adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding
+ various debian/* files.
+o units.c: #include <readline/history.h> iff READLINE is defined to
+ get add_history() prototype.
+o units.c: Added prototypes for handlesum(), completereduce() and
+ compareunits().
+o units.c (readunits,lookupunit,addunit,completeunits): parentheses
+ around assignment used as a truth value.
+o units.c (showanswer): initialize sep, right and left to quiet -Wall.
