(...) These are both great additions, thanks! :-, Adam, do you have an inch <-> LDU conversion constant as well? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 21-Aug-99, to lugnet.faq)

Hi Sproat, (...) Thanks :) (...) No. I don't like to get the english system involved. But if someone needed one they could try converting 1mm= 2.666...6667LD to english. When I do it I get 1 inch = 67.7333...3334LD (Yuck). You could also look at (...) (25 years ago, 22-Aug-99, to lugnet.faq)
