Could you be off by a magnitude?  If you are the rest could be
rounding...... I always screw up in the calculation part. Seems I
can't even punch buttons consistently. But I got this two time in a

I think you are off Blake. At least I hope you are :)

BTW since I have you on the line do you know of a character BASIC programming
language  for Linux? I have tons of source. I usually program this sort
of thing in QB. Easy to run the numbers over and over.
