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
