I do when I find something I cant handle easily in say Excel  :-) pqs has 
embedded in it all the conversion factors which I'd otherwise have to look up. I 
guess you could do it in another language but I dont think you could do it as 
neatly in another language. One raison-d'aitre of a units library is to show C++ 
off isnt it ?
