     The U.S. measures should be repackaged as the
hexadecimal alternative.  Computers have a hard time
with roundoff errors from the Frence metric system of
all powers of ten.  Hexadecimal -- powers of sixteen --
works well with the binary modern digital world.
16 ounces per pint
16 cups per gallon
16 ounces per pound
length would need some adjustment (5280 feet per mile).
