Re: [APML] A metric question

[Philip Perkins <pgp@astrocruise.com>]

Hi Dave,

It depends what part of Europe! <g>  In the UK we still think pretty much 
in good old imperial, 8x10", 16x20", etc.  But they use metric across all 
of mainland Europe, for example 45 x 60 cm is a size I've been asked for a 
few times.  As you may expect, frame sizes are metric.  A4 would be a 
really safe bet for a smallish print, then A3, A2, etc, but there are also 
some intermediate standard sizes which I could get if it helps.
