I have what I think is a simple question that I can't figure out. How do I write a set of rules that I can apply to an expression to convert between the temperature scales? I want to be able to change 0 dC to 273 dK and 459.67 dR as well as realizing 1 dC/W is the same as 1 dK/W which is 9/5 dR/W. Any ideas would be appreciated. The braoder question is has aonyone written the sets of rules necessary to handle both metric and english units? Thanks in advance, Daryl
