This is the unabridged version of the REXX program to solve the Rosetta Code task of   Temperature conversion.


Note that conversion from/to the   Dalton   temperature scale requires natural logarithms   (ln),   and the   pow   function.


No commenting/explaining was affixed to the higher math functions because it would detract from the logic of the main program.
