Sue,

> Can a ut_unit be created from a string like the CF-1.0 compliant
> units string: "seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z" ?

Apparently not:

    ~/udunits2: bin/udunits2 
    udunits2: Character encoding not specified and not settable from 
environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG.  Assuming     ASCII encoding.
    udunits2: Using default XML database
    You have: seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
    udunits2: Don't recognize "seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z"

It does accept "1970-01-01 00:00:00Z".

Not accepting the string is a bug.  Thanks for pointing it out.
It'll be fixed in the production release.

Regards,
Steve Emmerson
