units

If you have a script you think might be useful to others post it
here. Hopefully we will be able to get the most useful of these incorporated in the manuals.

please look at the units file in the examples manual.
replace the basic units with yours and modify the rest to match based on your basic units.
make sure you make a distinction with kg-mass and kg-weight in SI units, and lb-mass and lb-weight in Imperial units.
