As an example if you increased a 4 x 6 by a factor of 3 it becomes a 12 x 18 the ratio is the same both increased by a factor of 3 but the differential of the dimensions is now 6 not 2. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
