Title

    msq2ftsq Square measure conversion

Syntax
        msq2ftsq [ #[unit] [, unit(unit)]

    # is a number and unit is a square measure.

Description

    msq2ftsq converts square measures such as acre or are given in one metric
    unit into various other metric units. The program is focused on
    converting square meters to square feets but it also provides conversion
    from/to the following other units:


    Unit   Explanation
    ---------------------------------------------------------------
    msq    square meter
    a      are; ar
    ha     hectar
    kmsq   square kilometer
    ftsq   square feet
    ydsq   square yard
    acre   acre
    misq   square mile
    ---------------------------------------------------------------


    msq2ftsq converts the numbers given by the user into all the square
    measures mentiond above. If no unit is given, square meter is implied.
    The metric unit of the number can be specified with the number, or with
    option unit(), or both.

Options

    unit(unit) is used to specify the metric unit of the numbers provided. As
        unit, any of msq, a, h, ftsq, ydsq, acre, and misq are allowed. Note
        that the metric unit can be also appended directly to the numbers.
        However, if more than one number is specified, option unit() might be
        easier to use. Note also that any metric unit specified for one
        specific number overwrites the unit-option for that number.

Example(s)
