Nan, > Will there be a viewable page for udunits v2 which we can use to > search for units without needing to download the whole package? > There's a very useful page like that for v1, at > http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits-1/etc/udunits.dat > and very nice to be able to search for terms with a browser. Good idea. I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, I've attached the files that comprise the XML database. > If this page exists for udunits-2, I can't find it. I don't necessarily > need the whole package on every system I work on, but often just > want to check unit names while I'm developing code on a laptop. > > Thanks - Nan Galbraith > > -- > ******************************************************* > * Nan Galbraith (508) 289-2444 * > * Upper Ocean Processes Group Mail Stop 29 * > * Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution * > * Woods Hole, MA 02543 * > ******************************************************* Regards, Steve Emmerson Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KMJ-592371 Department: Support UDUNITS Priority: Normal Status: Open
