Just started using the beta program. This is a wonderful project and is very helpful. Units conversion is a major reason for my wanting to use the software. Thanks very much for working on this.

I discovered a problem with the way the volumetric unit gallons (gal) are handled. It should be 3.785e10^-3 m^3, but SMath build 3728 derives this as 3785 m^3, a factor of 10^6 different.

Thanks,
Dave S.

Yes, I also confirm that the conversion performed by Smath is incorrect here; 1 gallon should equal 0.00378541178 meters cubed.
