Thanks Mike, I'll check with Catamount. That page DOES say something about
litres and kilometres, so there is hope.
I have MPG 3.0, with manual and everthing (says Powermedia all over it,
musta been the distro), and I would like to keep that (from the
2.3b3-ReadMe: "Version 3.0 of MPG will be rewritten to take advantage of
some Newton OS 2.0 features and to add things such as reports.").

Sounds mystic, Paul, 'cos I found it e-z. ;=}

And Paul again - ;=} I'll try and see how this works. Maybe there is a
upgrade scheme for 3.0 owners with wrong locality (the site mentions one
for owners of 2.2 and earlier).

Peter, what are the advantages of Geek Gas over MPG? Why do you use this?
Cheers,
