    Posté par (site web personnel) . En réponse à la dépêche GNU Units sort en version 2.14. Évalué à 8.

    Je vais tester pour remplacer l'habituel bc -l que j'utilisais jusqu'alors.

    En plus, le fichier de données est bien documenté, ce qui ne gâche rien !

    oldpoint 1|72.27 inch # The American point was invented
    printerspoint oldpoint # by Nelson Hawks in 1879 and
    texpoint oldpoint # dominates USA publishing.
     # It was standardized by the American
     # Typefounders Association at the
     # value of 0.013837 inches exactly.
     # Knuth uses the approximation given
     # here (which is very close). The
     # comp.fonts FAQ claims that this
     # value is supposed to be 1|12 of a
     # pica where 83 picas is equal to 35
     # cm. But this value differs from
     # the standard.
