Totally off-topic, a very popular OS of the 1980s had a system parameter that was in units of micro-fortnights. Rather than waste BW posting followups, it was VMS and the parameter was one that specified how long to wait for the time to be entered on the console before continuing with the bootstrap (TIMEPROMPTWAIT). I'll leave the translation of uFortnights into more common units as an exercise to the reader. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
