Words and constants for converting amounts between measurement
units.

GLOSSARY

->     r1 r2 r3 --     cora     `convert'

    Convert quantity r1 of units r2 to units r3 and display results.
    r1 must be floating-point type (append `e' to decimal
    representation). r2 and r3 are the base unit conversion factors
    for r1 units and target units, respectively. Constants hve been
    defined for a wide variety of units (See `help-const').

->E     r1 r2 r3 --     cora     `convert-E'

    Convert quantity r1 of units r2 to units r3 and display results
    in engineering notation. See `->'.

MKS     r1 r2  --     cora     `M-K-S'

    Convert quantity r1 of units r2 to units r2 base units (m, kg,
    ms, ...) and display results.

C>F     r --     cora     `C-to-F'

    Convert Celcius temperature to Fahrenheit and display result.

F>C     r --     cora     `F-to-C'

    Convert Fahrenheit temperature to Celcius and display result.

HELP     --     cora     `help'
