Personally I'd prefer the second option.

kg.m2_div_s2
it would be much clearer.
I've been wondering why not use * like this:
kg*m^2*s^-2
or this:
kg*m^2/s^2
Are * and / restricted, being ,,special'' characters?
I must admit that both the ouput format and the quantity typedef names, I frankly havent done much work on, beyond getting something that works. I would welcome help from anyone regarding writing a specification in both areas.
In the output area one think lacking is going beyond ASCII. It would be nice to output Ohms as Ω rather than R for example. Any help with that would be appreciated too. I dont really know where to start with that.
BTW whatever appears locally after " output Ohms as " is meant to be the electronic symbol for Ohms. I suspect that its not the case though! regards Andy Little
