or just use units with longer command line
Authored by: mcquaid on Feb 13, '03 07:26:29PM
you can just say
units 200-nmile mile
on the command line to get the same result as in the script. Or say
units 1-mile feet
to get 5280. The man page for units is perhaps too opaque for it to be obvious that you can do this. Notice the dash between the quantity and the unit.
