      In the function CONVERT (currently 6.6.18), in the distance row with "Pica":
      Change unit symbol:
      "Pica"
      to:
      "Pica" or "picapt"
      Change description:
      Pica (1/72 in.)
      to:
      Pica point (1/72 inch)

      Under that, add a new entry:
      Unit symbol:
      "pica"
      Description:
      Pica (1/6 inch); note that this is different from a Pica point.

      In the "Area" and "Volume" sections, make equivalent changes
      (change "Pica" to "Pica point" in descriptions, add "pica" and "picapt" squared and cubed;
      clearly these measurements aren't common, but we need to be consistent).
