Here's output from my units program. 2084 units, 71 prefixes, 32 nonlinear units You have: 1024 kilobytes You want: megabytes * 1.024 / 0.9765625 You have: 5000 megabytes You want: gigabytes * 5 / 0.2 You have: 1024 kilobits You want: megabits * 1.024 / 0.9765625 You have: 5000 megabits You want: gigabits * 5 / 0.2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): units-1.80-12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start units 2. try converting bit/byte units Actual Results: It gives the wrong answer! Expected Results: It should give the right answer (sorry not a math person.) Additional info:
