Never fear, children. They may have made us go to buy .2 of a metre of wood (or whatever a foot is).
BUT did you notice they never even moved an inch in the direction of changing roadsigns and measurements to kilometers? - they realised it would cost them a fortune to reword and reposition all the signs. So all they did was prosecute the man who sold me a couple of pounds of spuds - let HIM stand the cost of new scales, price labels and receipts. Whilst we all have to measure short stuff in funny, they can still measure long stuff in miles and yards.
Having said which, as a mathematical numbskull, I have to say I found moving money from base 12 and base 20 to base 10 something of a relief. 'Course, the horse-racing fraternity prefer to remain with base 21. ![Rolling Eyes](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ Dennis

0.2 is about 8" as you jolly well know.
You just wanted a peasant or a pedant to answer you.

DONT SAY THAT. It's taken me years to persuade my wife that .1 is 6 inches. |

'Strewth, yet another swing of topic!!
I haven't the faintest idea. I just quickly tried the search button and looked at one reference to .toc, but it was just referring to using them, not how to make them.
I suggest you get your pipe and slippers out and sit by your computer and work your magic patience with the Search facility. I fear your enquiry might go unnoticed in this thread.
Alternatively choose a forum and post a new topic with the title "How do I create .cab and .toc files?", then people to whom it means something are likely to see and respond. _________________ Dennis

You need a CAB Packing Program. (My non-technical name).
If you Google for "make cab", or "cab packer" there are a lot of results. Take your pick. ![Smile](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) _________________ Richard

May we ask why you want to do it with a cab file?
Isn't it much easier you just add it yourself with copy and paste? (especially as you've got to learn how to make a cab file first!) :D |
