I have a lot more quantities to do, which don't have single-word names. > How would 26 picograms be encoded, or 230 volts?

This sort of format is intended for inches, but I haven't defined the code for inches yet. 0.026 ng: (2.6e-14, 0x00020b03). 230 V: (2.3e2, 0x000e1000). I'm not clear what the difference is between an amu and a gram per mole. The amu (or dalton - if prefixes are added to this unit it's generally called a dalton) should get the code 0x000230 while the gram per mole would get a code beginning with some other four-nybble number, but the mass of a molecule in amu is the same as the number of grams in a mole of them. phma
