      Release: 	0.0.2
Compatibility: 	BeOS PR upwards

  Description: 	International units translation library.
        
      Updates: (since libunits001)

* Added call to read current user's default units family settings.
* Added a whole pile of imperial units.
* Binary for test driver (libunits.t) included in .zip

        Notes: 

This is a very preliminary first stab at a units translation library after the style of datatypes. The library can handle conversion of units (eg, 'metres'), which are tagged with a type (eg, 'distance') and a family (eg, 'metric'). There is a certain amount of intelligence: the library understands how types are built out of primitive types (eg, it knows that the type 'area' is defined as distance^2). 


Things comming soon:

- cool little preferences type setup app!
- full source code
