See Wikipedia - and weep? Forget the k/K.
As of 2005, the standards work out as... All multiples can either be ten or two based (1,000 or 1,024 multiples). The binary forms are always capitalised K/M/G/P/E/Z/Y followed by a lower case "i". These are followed by "B" for bytes or "bit" for bits. The decimal forms don't have the "i" and use a lower case "k" as an exception. The bytes stay with "B" but the bits use just "b". That's all the currently favoured forms. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte> and <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibit>. Also see Baud <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baud> and Bitrate <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bits_per_second>. I always forget what baud is all about and some people think it's synonymous with bit rate, but it isn't! _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
