Hi again to all, I woke up in the middle of the night knowing something was wrong with the message I sent LATE last night. A surveyors chain is 66 feet long but it consists of 99 (vise 40) surveyors links each being 2/3 foot long. That's what I get for relying on memories from so long ago at that time of night without checking my figures. Oh Well, mea culpa. Happy Hunting! Dick Dutton
