    Hi,

    Rick found that I misread the CIM Arch CRs 72 and 89.
    The old Units qualifier is being replaced with PUnit
    (singular) in CIM v2.16.

    I'll fix this typo in our CIM_PrintInputTray and
    CIM_PrintMarker classes after WIMS-CIM this Thursday
    and whatever feedback we get on CIM_PrintOutputTray
    from this Friday's CIM Core WG meeting.

    The PUnit change will affect hundreds of MOF classes
    and be performed by machine-edits of CIM MOFs - at a
    rather dubious gain of functionality, since the new
    PUnit qualifier won't be recognized by ANY of the
    currently deployed CIM tools - and the deprecated
    Units qualifier will have to be retained for years
    into the future.

    Cheers,
    - Ira
