Hello,

I'd like to define custom units in Mathematica. Is this possible?
I want to define "binary units" (kibi/mibi/gibibytes) as used in
computers, because currently:

In[1]:= Convert[1 Kilo Byte,Byte]

Out[1]= 1000 Byte

When it is supposed to be 1024 bytes.


How to define custom unit?

Thanks!
