Hi Pat Please ignore this if your mistake was merely an oversight or accidental, otherwise: If you look closer I think you will see there is an exponent to set it to the right order of magnitude, namely E-02 (10 to the power -2 = 1/100). So it's actually 9.290304000 E-02 which is 0.09290304000 Regards Phil Hall -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pat Naughtin Sent: 02 March 2005 05:55 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:32328] Re: Conversion Dear John, Cheers, Pat Naughtin ASM (NSAA), LCAMS (USMA)* PO Box 305, Belmont, Geelong, Australia Phone 61 3 5241 2008
