Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 I had heard that we could just multiply/divide by 18 to get the equivalents. And someone on the Technical List said, well, it's not precisely 18 - but that's close enough. And that looks like it agrees with the numbers Elka Enola published.
