I wouldn't do that (the part of finding the order of magnitude)... I would probably keep on doing calculations while the numbers was greater then 1024... and in the end, when it was, the right letter to append would be based on the amount of calculations done... I remember reading something about this on use.Perl ... it was a while ago, and I'm not sure whether it ever got into a module, but the guy had written some wonderful code to do this :-) > Converting between kilo and mega et al?
