Yes, I saw your posting in which you rounded off the 101 kPa to 100 kPa. I
elected not to round that 101 kPa off because many people recognize that as
"normal atmospheric pressure". I did not round off the altitude values in
kilometers because I didn't think of it.
Good point, John, and a nice posting by you on that discussion board!
