I'll send it to you in private mail, the two files are GPLd. 

The package contains the following four user functions:

unit_init([optList])		/*initialize the package*/
unit_si(term)			/*convert to SI base units*/
unit_use(inWantUnit,inTerm,[inOpt])  /*convert to arbitrary units*/
unit_remove(inTerm)		/*substitute all units by one*/

Converting to arbitrary units is really weak in my package and often 
does nonsense.
