Could someone email me the rules that are used during conversions of
measurements based on the number originally entered . I am working
on several Natural Science Curator systems (Vascular Plants,Phycology etc)
and noone seems able to tell me what periodical/book defines them .
Unfortunatley their old computer systems seems to have some bugs in the
logic and I do not have access to the original source code hence the posting.

	eg. If I entered 5 Miles and converted to Metres or
			 5.
			 5.0
	etc

Sorry if this is not the correct board . Thanks in advance
