Hi,

I made some changes to m-units.tex. According to Wikipedia [1], Bit
should be denoted as "bit", Byte as "B" and Baud as "Bd". I also added
binary prefixes.

Hope this is acceptable.

Regards,

Well I actually wouldn't expect an space between the 'm' (metre) and a
',' (comma). But there should be naturally a space between 'm' and the
'u' of 'und'.

> What wrong?
I think everything is ok. \TeX\ uses the space after the \Meter to see
it as end-macro-sign. So \TeX{} needs to know that it hasn't to read on.
Solutions:
a) '\Meter\ und'
b) '\Meter{} und'
c) '{\Meter} und'
I actually prefer the first one.

It is possible to try to find out whether a "\foo " should eat the space
or not, but it is not very easy to make it always right. (I think it is
somewhere in de-tex-faq also described, but I cannot find it right now.)

Hello,

using m-units, no space appears at the end of the unit. In the example

... Dichte 2,65 \Gram\Per\Cubic\Centi\Meter, 27\% Portlandzement der
Dichte 3,1 \Gram\Per\Cubic\Centi\Meter und 22\% Wasser beträgt ...

appears no space before the comma and even before the "und".

What wrong?

Thank you,

Greetings
