Follow-up Comment #24, bug #38270 (project octave): So I got my hands on a MacOSX system to test this with the non-GNU units v1.00 and I get a different output from the one mentioned on message #4 (and one very close to the GNU units): $ units -v units version 1.0 Copyright (c) 1993 by Adrian Mariano This program may be freely distributed usage: units [-f unitsfile] [-q] [-v] [from-unit to-unit] $ units degC K * 1 / 1 $ units "degC(100)" K unknown unit 'degC(100)' conformability error 1 degC(100) 1 K I then figured that this is not dependent on the units version, but on the version of units data file. I found someone with a different version of MacOSX and could replicate the output from message #4. The difference is in the units.dat file (mentioned at the end of units man page): / $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/units/units.lib,v 1.13 2002/07/09 08:47:03 joerg Exp $ / $FreeBSD: src/usr.bin/units/units.lib,v 1.19.2.1.2.1 2009/10/25 01:10:29 kensmith Exp $ I pushed another change (r12301) which tries both syntax of non-linear conversion. There are a couple of tests in the function file so please run "test units.m" and add your own as well. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38270> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
