physunits module from FORTRAN 1.0

The physunits toolbox is an attempt to confer dimensional "awareness" to the MATLAB environment. The motivation for this, as well as a suggested way to go about it, are explained in% Petty, G.W., 2001: Automated computation and consistency checking ofphysical dimensions and units in scientific programs. Software -Practice and Experience (Volume 31, Issue 11, 19 June 2001)The author of the same has also made available for download a FORTRAN90 module that implements this ides in the FORTRAN language. The module and paper can be downloaded fromhttp://rain.aos.wisc.edu/~gpetty/physunits.htmlThe physunits toolbox is based on the above module, and expands it, while trying to adhere consistently to MATLAB standards and practices.The zip file contains:@preal (directory) -In MATLAB, classes are defined by a directory of the class name preceded by a @ sign. The @preal directory contains the preal class definition and methods. To use the preal class, the directory IMMEDIATELY ABOVE @preal should be added to the MATLAB path.setUnits.m -MATLAB .m file with predefined units and constants. See documentation for usage.info.xml - Pointer to the html documentation file. Used by the MATLABhelp browser.html (directory) -Containing the html help and documentation files.physunits.m - a function for switching the physunits on or off.iceball.m - a short sample program that demonstrates the preal class.
