Hi Jamie & All,   Feb 16, 2007
  In my original post of Feb 8, I stated--
"As a rule of thumb, a 5 cm difference from sea level would represent an 
elevation difference of about 3.9 metres."

	This should have read 'about 39 metres'. I apparently went from a 
spreadsheet value of 3934.9 cm, transposed this to the e-mail as 3.9 
metres and never looked back.

	This correction does extend the possible elevation range, e.g. an h of 40 
cm from sealevel would represent an elevation of 320.3 M.
