Hi,

I just had a search on google for KUnit, and it came up with several hits. It 
seems that KUnit is for the KDE2.x system and is unmaintained. Also, if it's 
a frontend for the units program, that would require the user to have units 
installed, whereas KConvert is a complete reimplementation.

Regards,

George
