Harold Climer says he hates the words "left as an exercise for the
student."

Although it made me laugh, because we all share the frustration, I hope
everyone is aware that that phrase is merely a polite euphemism for
"although I know how to do it, I really don't have the time to explain
it, but I think you're smart enough to figure out out on your own, and
hey, it's kinda fun to re-invent the wheel anyhow."

To all the folks who responded to the yards.feetinches problem: THANX!!
