When specifying an angle as a decimal fraction, astronomers, - and perhaps others, like to put the angle symbol (degrees, minutes, - or seconds) over the decimal point, e.g. 7.'5 for an angle of 7.5 - arcminutes. I thought this was totally archaic. Is this style really in common use? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Laurence G.
