CVS commit: src/usr.bin/units
Module Name: src
Committed By: apb
Date: Fri Dec 28 17:57:46 UTC 2012
Modified Files:
src/usr.bin/units: units.lib
Log Message:
Rename "tappit-hen" to "tappithen" because unit names cannot contain
hyphens. Also change the definition from "3 imperial" (a dimensionless
quantity) to "3 bottle" (2.25 litres). Wikipedia and several other web
sites say 3 bottles or 2.25 litres, but

says:
There seems to be no firm definition of the bottle size referred to
as "tappit-hen". Believed to be of Scottish origin, a tappit-hen
can vary, according to which definition one follows, from 1 1/2
bottles to a tregnum or 3-bottle bottle. It is safest to say that it
approximates to a magnum.
and ends with:
1 Tappit-Hen (2.25 liters) per lot
