Greetings,

    Version 1.9 of the Unidata units package, UDUNITS, is now available.
This package provides a stand-alone, data abstraction library for the
manipulation of units of measurement by application programs.  In
particular, the udunits(3) library is a de facto standard for the
handling of `units' attributes in netCDF datasets.

    New in this release of UDUNITS is a perl 5 extension module.  This
should nicely complement the previously released perl 5 extension module
for the netCDF package.

The UDUNITS package can be obtained via the following URL's:

    Source:

        ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/udunits/udunits.tar.Z

        (Please see the file README for installation instructions.)

    Binary:

        ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary/

        (See the file README for instructions on obtaining a binary
        distribution for your system.  NOTE: The the perl extension does
        not come with the binary distribution.)

    There is a Web page for the UDUNITS package that contains
additional information (e.g. release notes, manual pages, installation
instructions, known problems).  Its URL is

        http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/udunits/

    If you have a problem with the package, then please consult the
UDUNITS email archives first to see if a solution already exists.  The
archives are available via URL


Look under the `netCDF' email archives and use the word `UDUNITS' in
your search pattern.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
