SYNOPSIS

       unitconv [unit] value
       unitconv [unit] expression

DESCRIPTION

       unitconv  is  a	simple	energy and length units converter (written in Tcl). It is a utility program of xcrysden package (http://www.xcrys-
       den.org/).

ENERGY UNITS

       The following energy units are supported.  The following list contain the "unit -- description" pairs, where the unit is to be specified on

       au -- Hartree

       ry -- Rydberg

       ev -- eV (electron volt)

       kjm -- kJ/mol

       kj -- kJ

       kcalm -- kcal/mol

       kcal -- kcal

       angs -- Angstrom

       bohr -- Bohr radius

       m -- meter

EXAMPLES

       Convert a value from eV to other energy units:

       unitconv ev 3.25

       Calculate an expression (values in Rydberg unit) and convert to other energy units (note that expression must be quoted):

       unitconv ry "-103.134567 - (-240.691356 - -2*17.543471)/2"

       In expression also mathematical functions available in tclsh can be used.
