Shooting from the hip I'd say information has the same units as entropy, which I thought was unitless. But what about Gibbs free energy: dG = dH + TdS S then has units of energy/temperture? Maybe I'm just being dense? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ric Peregrino c/o Hewlett Packard Co.
