The mass should always be stored in the same unit. It could be stored as an unsigned int in grams or as a float in kilograms. I prefer kilograms, since that's the coherent unit. Display depends on whether the mass is less than 20 kg. If anyone weighs more than 280 kg, there is a data entry problem. Pierre
