Chris:

TWIPS is correct.  It brought forth a whole slew of painful memories. 
Now I have to go see my psychiatrist.  I'll probably have to go back
on that medication, too.  Gee, thanks Chris!  ;-)

Still can't get from there to pixels, though.  Just to add another
fraction there, one point is 1/72 of an inch.  Fr. Gutenberg would be
proud.

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

Mail sent to me from the newsgroups won't bounce but will
be ignored.  If I have time, I'll respond, but you  have
a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
