> I do agree with the convention of putting a 0 in front of any . so > the dp dosen't get lost, especially on faxes. 0.1uF becomes 01uf > and you know what happened to the point If I had a part that big (and let's face it, like great actors, we all want big parts) I'd prefer 0F1. It might be unusual, as 100000uF is not a common part, but it's not uncommon to see 0R1 for 0.1 ohms or 0u1 for 100nF. The nomenclature exists and has been in use for a long time (eg 2k2 is seen around here more often than 2200, which to me looks a bit "odd") -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
