-31 degrees Celsius = -23.8 degrees Fahrenheit

Thanks for that. I think I found a bug in the "units" program:

me@mycomp:~$ units
2438 units, 71 prefixes, 32 nonlinear units

You have: -31 degC
You want: degF
* -55.8
/ -0.017921147
You have: ^C

me@mycomp:~$ echo "scale=2; -31*9/5+32" | bc
-23.80

er

That's because units doesn't subtract the 32. I use the older version
which flat out states it will not do temperature conversion.
