There is a unit arithmetic library for Smalltalk by Travis Griggs. It assigns a prime to each fundamental unit and reduces unit conversion and reduction to integer arithmetic. I don't think it deals with SI prefixes so generally. http://www.glorp.org/publicRepository/Measurements.html Cheers, Hamish -- Hamish Harvey Research Associate, School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Newcastle University
