I imagine this should be fairly straight forward. When atomic units are implemented, this could be useful for me... but alas I very seldom use Haskell for physics, and the effort to learn these modules seems unlikely to pay off soon. :( -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
