Is that half a million (543,7183 miles) or nearly 544 (543.7183 miles)? Commas,

Hehe!

Sorry about the confusion, it's the way we use commas in my country :-)

Accuracy to the 14th decimal place. Impressive. Is that down to parts of a mm then? ;-)

versions too. Was very easy.... NOT! If you had any odd problems I
hope they're all gone now.

Thanks Magnus. Useing Netscape 4.61 I was having a problem with the
alphabetic search line appearing vertically instead of horizontally.
Works fine now.
