+The GNU Units conversion program
+
+The Units program converts quantities expressed in various scales
+to their equivalents in other scales. The units program can handle
+multiplicative scale changes as well as nonlinear conversions such
+as Fahrenheit to Celsius or wire gauge. Units comes with an
+annotated, extendable database defining over two thousand units.
+The units are defined in an external data file.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.
