>Description:
Updates to /usr/share/misc/units.lib
The "pennyweight" is 1/20th of a troy ounce, not the std ounce. It should = 24 grains.
Add "dwt" as an abbreviation for "pennyweight". This is commonly used in the mining community.
Also "troy ounce" or perhaps "troz" should be added as a synonym for "apounce".
troyounce apounce
troz apounce
pennyweight 1|20 troz (or apounce)
pwt pennyweight
dwt pennyweight
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Delete pennyweight = 1|20 oz
troyounce apounce
troz apounce
pennyweight 1|20 troz (or apounce)
pwt pennyweight
dwt pennyweight
