Well, if we're going to critique the design, I'd say that I find the GNU
Units program<URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/units/units.html> to be a
good flexible implementation of a command-line units converter.
I suspect, though, that the object of the OP was not so much to make a
good unit converter, but rather to learn from a simple example exercise.
Right. I think he would learn something from the exercize I suggest.
