When using Miscellaneous`SIUnits`, SI[60 Celsius] erroneously returns 60 Kelvin. Is there a modification that I can make to the package to make it convert 60 Celsius to 333 Kelvin but still convert 60 Celsius/Watt to 60 Kelvin/Watt. This might be a limitation of SIUnits that can't be overcome. In that case when I feed a temperature to a package, what is the recommended way to guarantee that this erroneous conversion doesn't take place? Thanks in advance, Daryl Reece_d at elmg.com
