It looks like the hyperlink to the original UDUNITS (alias UDUNITS-1) package 
was a casualty of our website upgrade. The orphaned link to the file 
"udunits.data" of the deprecated UDUNITS-1 package is 
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/udunits/udunits-1/etc/udunits.dat>. I'll 
see about restoring the UDUNITS-1 webpages.
