  I personaly don't care for that system because of all of the extra
typing involved but if you are interested in this sort of thing then
Sonya Roberts already has a predefined Include file available so you
don't have to go though and make all of the declarations yourself.
I have never looked at it but I think I heard that it is written for
both the American standard and European metric measurement systems.

It is available at:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/1022/menu2.htm

If you can't find it there try the povabilities articles at:
http://www.spake.org/rtimes/

which should also have a copy since it is used heavely in the
online tutorial there.
