Hi.
I'v been following this, but there is one thing
I don't understand (lack och English knowledge, I'm sure),

Is one "Tenths of Inches" equal to 10" or 0.1" ?

*If* it's equal 0.1", how can it be of any interest, if
the original integer is in "integer" inches ?

Jan-Erik.

 Olin,

You're misunderstanding the ambiguous wording of the OP. Read in conjunction
with the rest of his post, you can see than he means that each integer
represents an inch, to a maximum bound of 12,000 inches.

Something isn't right since you can't ever have a whole foot in a 16 bit
integer if 12000 represents one inch.  The most you can get is 5.46
inches.
