Tom,
If you're on a Unix box, run the "units" program. Here's the
output of what I just did:
danm.danm> units
you have: liter
you want: gallon
* 2.641721e-01
/ 3.785412e+00
you have: liter
you want: imperial gallon
* 2.199692e-01
/ 4.546090e+00
you have: nt-m
you want: ft-lbf
* 7.375621e-01
/ 1.355818e+00
you have: kg
you want: lb
* 2.204623e+00
/ 4.535924e-01
you have: kilowatt
you want: hp
* 1.341022e+00
/ 7.456999e-01
