Has the non-metric ton disappeared? It has in the UK and it looks to me like it also has in the US.
US press and other reports refer to 'metric tons' (which would be 'tonne' in the UK). Incidentally, www.washingtonpost.com and the news.bbc.co.uk are good resources for current news which do not require registration. www.economist.com is a good resource for current issues. It does not require registration for current articles but it does for archived articles. -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
