    Hi and thanks for your work. I will use .cc from now on, if the joe 
editor will do color with that. The color helps me.

    I fixed the source code by erasing the entire line:
   cin>>feet>>inches;
and then retyping it in.

    I find c++ a whole lot more unforgiving of typing gliches. I need to 
believe what g++ gives as an error and just retype it right away.

Thank you

Karl
