The Unity units library

This is the unity library, which is able to parse scientific unit specifications using a variety of syntaxes.

This is currently a beta distribution, version unity-0.6, 2012 August 18

It is released under the terms of the 2-clause BSD licence.

The four syntaxes are:

• OGIP memo OGIP/93-001 (postscript); and
• CDS's Standards for Astronomical Catalogues, Version 2.0.
