Re: PPM Calculations


Vince, Kathie,

I don't remember about the PPM calculation, but I think it was given
on this list a few years ago. It's probably out there, somewhere.
Try bigpumpkins.com if you don't get any responses.

As for what I'm plantin'... My list, headed up by the 981 Zunino
is posted at:

Sorry about all the ads. I've got to get out of tripod.

Regards, Cliff
