Hi Tom, > The list of valid unit names, etc., I have access to at > (http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits.txt) is > apparently outdated from version 1. The UDUNITS-2 package is the preferred one. > The on-line information for version 2 at > <http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits-2/udunits2-base.xml> > is in unreadable XML format.

If you have access to a UDUNITS-2 installation, then you can execute the following command to list the available units: egrep 'singular|symbol' $prefix/share/udunits/udunits2-*.xml | sed 's/<[^>]*>//g;s/ *//' where $prefix is the root of the UDUNITS-2 installation. I suppose a better way to do this would be to have our web-server dynamically convert the XML files into web pages using XSLT. Jen, can this be done? > Thanks for any help... > > tom > > -- > Tom Whittaker > University of Wisconsin-Madison > Space Science & Engineering Center (SSEC) > Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) > 1225 W.
