%                      mile to international feet 
%           if_smile - output, conversion factor from international foot to
%                      international statute miles
%  Remarks: Some useful SI prefixes and values: 
%           kilo = 10^3, mega = 10^6, giga = 10^9, tera = 10^12, peta = 10^15, 
%           exa = 10^18,
%           milli = 10^(-3), micro = 10^(-6), nano = 10^(-9), pico = 10^(-12),
%           femto = 10^(-15), atto = 10^(-18).
