Title

    msq2ftsq Conversion between ounce <-> gramm (and others)

Syntax
        g2oz [ #[unit] [, unit(unit)]

    # is a number and unit is a unit for mass.

Description

    g2oz converts standare measures of mass such as ounces or pounds given in
    one unit into various other units. The program is focused on converting
    gramms to ounces but it also provides conversion from/to the following
    other units:


    Unit   Explanation
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    g      gramm
    kg     kilogramm
    oz     ounce
    lb     pound
    st     stone
    tnl    long ton (GB)
    tnsh   short ton (US)
    gr     grain
    ---------------------------------------------------------------


    g2oz converts the numbers given by the user into all the measures
    mentiond above. If no unit is given, gramm is implied. The unit of the
    number can be specified with the number, or with the option unit(), or
    with both.

Options

    unit(unit) is used to specify the unit of the numbers provided. As unit,
        any of g, kg, oz, lb, st, tnl, tnsh and gr are allowed. Note
        carefully that gr stands for "grain", a measure commonly used for
        masses of bullets, gunpowder, and smokeless powder. The symbol for
        gramm is g.

        The unit(s) can be appended directly to the specified number(s). If
        more than one number is specified, option unit() might be easier to
        use. Note that any unit specified for one specific number overwrites
        the unit-option for that number.

Example(s)
