Re: [APML] A metric question

[Ray Butler <ray.butler@nuigalway.ie>]

Hi Dave,

In Ireland and the UK we use either standard imperial (eg. 10 x 8 inch) 
photo paper sizes, or ISO (eg. A4, A3, ...), for our picture frames. 
I've never seen any unusual "metric" size like "0.2 x 0.3 metre".

But Europe is a big place, so it might be different in other constituent 
countries.
