The smiley implies that this was meant as a joke, and I should take it as such. (It sounds like one, too). Having a broken instrument isn't acceptable either way. This patch was supposed to *fix* it. I just wasn't sure if "fpm" was a typo or if the responsible engineer didn't know that (s)he only had to add <scale>60</scale> to make "feet per minute" out of /velocities/vertical-speed-fps. I even asked on the list and searched the internet[1] to find this out. If nobody feels responsible this is certainly not my fault. If you know better, why don't you submit a better patch? This wouldn't have been more work than complaining here. m.
