41 * This is a file defining the conversion factors ASCEND will recognize when
42 * it sees them as {units). Note that the assignment x:= 0.5 {100};; yields
43 * x == 50, and that there are no 'offset conversions,' e.g. F=9/5C+32;
44 * Added money which isn't really time 3-94 BAA
45 * Expanded, including some of Karl's units, constants. 4-94 BAA
46 * Updated with supplementary SI dimensions and less ambiguous mole dim. jz/baa
47 *
48 * Please keep unit names to 20 characters or less as this makes life pretty.
49 * This is not a hard limit however.
50 *
51 * The root system units in SI MKS system are set in the C code to:
52 * unitname DIMENSION
53 * define kilogram M; internal mass unit SI
54 * define mole Q; internal quantity unit SI
55 * define second T; internal time unit SI
56 * define meter L; internal length unit SI
57 * define Kelvin TMP; internal temperature unit SI
58 * define currency C; internal currency unit
59 * define ampere E; internal electric current unit SI suggested
60 * define candela LUM; internal luminous intensity unit SI
61 * define radian P; internal plane angle unit SI suggested
62 * define steradian S; internal solid angle unit SI suggested
