Ternary Data Units

Base three does not align very well with decismal. Binary uses the "Magic Number" 1024 (2^10) which is very close to 1000. Ternary does not have a value that fits this well. So one must just be chosen. The nearest is 729 (3^6). Instead of barrowing binary unit names I came up with my own unit names from the end letters of Heptavintimal.
