Update of bug #38270 (project octave): Status: Works For Me => Confirmed Summary: Units conversion from degC to K has syntax error => miscellaneous package: units conversion from degC to K fails with units 1.0 _______________________________________________________ Follow-up Comment #4: I've checked 3 versions of the units program and confirmed that they do have different formats that the units function does not handle. units-1.0 (fetched from http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/misc_cmds/misc_cmds-31/units/): $ units degC K (-> x*1 +273.15) (<- y*1 -273.15) units-1.88: $ units degC K * 1 / 1 units-2.00: units degC K Currency exchange rates from 2012-06-06 * 1 / 1 Only versions greater than 1.0 and less than 2.00 currently work with the units function. Also note that no versions since 1.53 (when units became GNU units) output the full definition of nonlinear unit conversions, so even when the syntax error is fixed the conversion between degC and degK or degF will not be correct. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38270> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
