<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks to every one who has replied. It is only
that I'm trying to calculate a number of G&J weights from their cast weight,
less Tunings to arrive at the Tuned or Despatched weight when the Tuned weight
is not given in their Tuning Books.</FONT></DIV>

<P>In case it's of any help here's a JavaScript fragment to convert lbs to
cwt-qrs-lbs:<BR> <BR>
function lbsToCwtQrsLbs(<WBR>wtlbs){<BR>
var lbs = wtlbs % 28;
// remainder # lbs after removing qrs
from total<BR> var
wtqrs = (wtlbs - lbs)/28; // total is now 'wtqrs' qrs plus
'lbs' lbs<BR> var qrs
= wtqrs % 4; //
remainder # qrs after removing cwt from 'wtqrs'<BR>
var cwt = (wtqrs -
qrs)/4; // total is now 'cwt'x 112 +
'qrs'x 28 + 'lbs'<BR>
if ((lbs==0)&&(qrs==0)){return cwt+'cwt';}<BR>
return
cwt+'-'+qrs+'-'+lbs;<BR> }<BR><BR>Peter
