If you really do use C++ to do this type of stuff, then I definitely concede the point. Implicit unit casting is definitely useful in your example.

I do when I find something I cant handle easily in say Excel :-) pqs has embedded in it all the conversion factors which I'd otherwise have to look up. I guess you could do it in another language but I dont think you could do it as neatly in another language. One raison-d'aitre of a units library is to show C++ off isnt it ? cheers Andy Little
