  46    (description
  47     "GNU Units converts quantities expressed in various systems of
  48 measurement to their equivalents in other systems of measurement.  Like
  49 many similar programs, it can handle multiplicative scale changes.  It can
  50 also handle nonlinear conversions such as Fahrenheit to Celsius or wire
  51 gauge, and it can convert from and to sums of units, such as converting
  52 between meters and feet plus inches.
  53
  54 Beyond simple unit conversions, GNU Units can be used as a general-purpose
  55 scientific calculator that keeps track of units in its calculations.  You
  56 can form arbitrary complex mathematical expressions of dimensions including
  57 sums, products, quotients, powers, and even roots of dimensions.  Thus you
  58 can ensure accuracy and dimensional consistency when working with long
  59 expressions that involve many different units that may combine in complex
  60 ways.
  61
  62 The units are defined in an external data file.  You can use the extensive
  63 data file that comes with this program, or you can provide your own data
  64 file to suit your needs.  You can also use your own data file to supplement
  65 the standard data file.")

 141 PSPP can perform descriptive statistics, T-tests, anova, linear and logistic
 142 regression, cluster analysis, factor analysis, non-parametric tests and
 143 more.  Its backend is designed to perform its analyses as fast as possible,

 145 graphical interface or the more traditional syntax commands.")
