This file is part of the showdim package, released under the LPPL;

\tenthpc - Print dimen in picas, rounded to the nearest tenth
\hundredthpc - Print dimen in picas, rounded to the nearest hundredth
\tenthpcpt - Print dimen in tenths of a pica and whole points.
\pttenthpc - Print dimen in points and tenths of a pica.
\pthundredthpc - Print dimen in points followed by the equivalent in picas
(to two decimal places).
\points - Print dimen rounded to the nearest whole point.
\picas - Print dimen converted to the nearest whole pica.
This package was written by Michael Downes, who passed away in 2003. He
released it without a license, which is considered nonfree nowadays. In
October 2012, his heirs (his children Zoe, Elizabeth, and Mia Downes)
have all agreed to re-releasing his work under any version of the LaTeX
Public Project License. Therefore, the package is now released under
the LPPL, version 1 or (at your option) any later version.
The only change in this release is to the license (and typos).
The actual code is the same as Michael's last release.
