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.
