Re: Units of measurement for Ada v2.7

["ldries46" <bertus.dries@planet.nl>]

I am glad that such a program exists in ADA but I think there are more 
programs that just convert dimensions.
What I think that is more urgent is a standard database for such conversions 
and a package that can use such a database in any program.
In the past I wrote such a set of routines (in Visual C++) in which it was 
possible to in and output in various dimensions. All calculations in 
programs were done in the basic SI units although it was possible to input 
something for instance in feet and output the result in inches. I think that 
such a package would be of grat ease to much programmers.
When I am a little bit more experienced in ADA I may copy these routines in 
ADA.
