For some reason, I had thought that the 39.37 had been defined as an *exact* value... Of course this also means that my memory is faulty on the 2.54 cm/in value also... My understanding is an inch is EXACTLY 2.54 cm. Danny Deger

Yeah, well I thought that a meter was defined as EXACTLY 39.37 inches also, so I was leaving myself an out, just in case yet another previoiusly held belief turned out to be wrong... According to http://www.pmel.org/Handbook/HBConversion.htm, it appears that 2.54 is an exact figure... Damn, that's a surprise...
