I put down what we measured, the only marks that count. If I gave a conversion, as sure as I'm sitting here someone would take that for the real measurement, then it would get converted back to metric, the process would be repeated several times, and there is a good chance that the distances would end up as something else. Besides, If I don't give a conversion you might be able to sell a few more of your Big [formerly Little] [pick a color] Books. That's probably the real reason you are against metric measurements, to keep selling these books :-) -- Wayne T. Armbrust, Ph.D. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computomarx™ 3604 Grant Ct.
