Architects and Builders want to take 6'3-3/4" and add 4'2-1/2" (thus six feet, three and three quarters inches plus four feet two and one half inches) and get 10'6-1/4" I think the difficulty is that to add fractions of an inch, it needs to stay and/or reduce to a fraction, and the inches to feet portion is like dealing with a "base 12" number system rather than a "base 10" like the even feet deal with. I typically saw this as a FIF (or Feet/Inch/Fraction) calculator.....I have the code for a HP48 but have not located a good way to do these on m iPAQ. Any suggestions......hope this clarified what I think the FIF should do. __________________ When it rains, you might get wet.

I am not sure how to enter feet and inch directly in HP49G since it's not my main calculator, and the online manual is really sad. but I got the feeling you can do it just like in TI89 inputting unit and all.
