$ units 68degF degC

Should be around 20.

$ units degC
        Definition: K = 1 K

$ units degC degK
        * 1
        / 1

degC, degF, degK represent changes in temperature, so the above is correct.

To convert temperatures, you want

$ units 'tempF(68)' tempC
        20

See “Temperature Conversions” in the manpage for details.

Stephen
