This is a great program and I use it almost every day. A+
For my local units file, I've also defined a “floppyMB” for retro computing purposes. The old “1.2 MB”, “1.44 MB”, “2.88 MB” measures were based on the idea that “1 MB = 1000 KiB” (seriously). The “1.44 MB” floppies would be measured as either 1.47 MB or 1.41 MiB in more conventional units.
echo "floppyMB 1000 KiB" >> ~/.units
units "1.44 floppyMB" MiB
