Tom, However, am I recollecting correctly that after 2009 supplementary Imperial units will indeed be "banned" in the UK?

For example, The EU requirement is that the metric units are *required* and the imperial one optional. Where the imperial ones are included they must not be of a bigger sized lettering than the metric one. This will probably be easier to enforce, and you don't actually have to 'ban' anything. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Wade | EMail: tee dot wade at eurokom dot ie EuroKom | Tel: +353 (1) 296-9696 A2, Nutgrove Office Park | Fax: +353 (1) 296-9697 Rathfarnham | Disclaimer: This is not a disclaimer Dublin 14 | Tip: "Friends don't let friends do Unix !"
