Hi Carl,
I did mean fractions. I had never broken it down before. I guess
there are 25 2/7 mm in an inch. In Canada, there are still 12 inches in a
foot.
I just use that fraction to preform exact conversions in software.
Jay.

Ahhhh. Ok. I though you was talking fractions. 127/5 is then 25-2/7.
IIRC.
