+The GNU Units conversion program
+
+The Units program converts quantities expressed in various scales
+to their equivalents in other scales. The units program can handle
+multiplicative scale changes as well as nonlinear conversions such
+as Fahrenheit to Celsius or wire gauge. Units comes with an
+annotated, extendable database defining over two thousand units.
+The units are defined in an external data file.
