I'd very much agree: There's a difference between zero power dimensions and
*unknown power* dimensions.

Two questions:
1) What about something like Radians? I.e.: not strictly a physical
dimension, yet which under normal circumstances should not be used like
  x = 5 radians;
  y = sin(x) + x; //>:-0

2) Where can I get the updated sources? I only was able to get the original
because they were attached to the message. The updated ones, when I click
on the yahoo groups link it says that the folder doesn't exist.

Thx.

(PS.: Sorry to reply as new thread; I just don't know how to post a follow-up.)
