MKS Plugin
MKS Plugin for REALbasic 5 allows you to construct programs which can handle numbers with units much like doubles and integers are handled. The basic MKS units are Meters, Kilograms, Seconds, Coulombs, Kelvin, and Dollars. You can use the arithmetic operators +, -, *, / with any valid combination of MKS's, doubles, and integers. And MKS's can be compared in if statements.
As a Carbon, PPC, and x86 plugin, it can be used to build Mac OS X, Mac OS 9.x, or Windows applications.
