GNU Units

The program converts quantities expressed in various scales to their equivalents in other scales. Units can only handle multiplicative scale changes. For example, it cannot convert Celsius to Fahrenheit but it can convert temperature differences between those teperature scales.

The units are defined externally in an extensive, well annotated data file that defines over 2000 units. You can also provide your own data file.
