-The dimensional conversion routine takes as input a value, dimensions pair (entered in the first input box).  The text is entered as: number  dimension.  The number and dimensions individually may not contain any spaces.  The dimensions can be any combination of dimensional units from the available units (see list), separate by operators ['*', '/', '^'], and optionally a number for power.

From: 35 MMBtu/hour = 35 million Btus per hour (box 1) To: erg/second = convert to ergs per second From: 25 mph = 25 miles per hour To: foot/second = convert to feet per second From: 350 centimeter^3 = 350 cubic centimeters To: foot^3 = convert to cubic feet
