Ask a Brit how much he weighs. He'll give you an answer in stone. The Brits are still very much into the English measurements. Their liquid measurements are different from ours. Ounces are slightly different, but then there are 10 ounces per cup, which screws everything up. So their gallon is about 1.25 of our gallon. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
