+siunitx - A comprehensive (SI) units package

Physical quantities have both numbers and units, and each
physical quantity should be expressed as the product of a number
and a unit. Typesetting physical quantities requires care to
ensure that the combined mathematical meaning of the number-unit
-combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays

Installation
------------
-The package is supplied in dtx format and as a pre-extracted zip
-file, siunitx.tds.zip. The later is most convenient for most
-users: simply unzip this in your local texmf directory and run
-texhash to update the database of file locations. If you want to
-unpack the dtx yourself, running "tex siunitx.dtx" will extract
-the package whereas "latex siunitx.dtx" will extract it and also
-typeset the documentation.
