}Here for the aprox. 5% of the world population that don't use ISO paper sizes
}the dimensions of 3 of the most popular sizes:
}
}    A4    210 x 297 mm
}    C5    162 x 229 mm (envelope for A4 folded to A6 format)
}    DL    110 x 220 mm (envelope for A4 folded twice parallel)

Printers in Germany and Japan use different sizes for the B series.
The German value is specified by DIN; I believe the Japanese value is
specified by some JIS standard:

        DIN             JIS    
B4      250x353         257x364
B5      176x250         182x257
B6      125x176         128x182
