a question arose on 'Paddlewise' email about measurement units. nice
physical discussion was presented about definition of nautical mile.

i searched for 'conversion tables' using InfoSeek... your site a-rose and
the link was sent for kayak/canoe folks to use.

John Winters asked 'Great web site. How do you find it? '

now it's friday nite, so a second trip led to me to the wonderful flower
display, photos and other pages...Hence, thanks Ertugrul Kasaci for taking
the time to construct such a wonderful web site. your conversion tables
have led to much enjoyment.

bye bye bliven

If you have a Unix/Linux system, just use "units":

	Script started on Sat Mar 14 06:18:54 1998
	/tmp 1: units

	you have: nmiles
	you want: km
		* 1.852000e+00
		/ 5.399568e-01

	/tmp 2: exit
	script done on Sat Mar 14 06:19:04 1998
