The USA customary pint is 16 fl oz. A US customary fluid ounce is 1.0408427 Imperial fluid ounces. Since 1866 both SI (metric) and US customary units have been legal for interstate trade here. The US customary system was originally derived from the British system in effect at the time of independence. It was redefined in terms of SI units in the 19th century. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
