It's really not that hard to work it out. 6 x 9 is 54 (base 10). So if this is 42 in some unknown base, we have 4 x base + 2 = 54, giving 4 x base = 52, or base = 13. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
