A webpage for what kind of info? Obscure measurements? Metric measurements?
(To some of us Americans, the two are sometimes synonymous :-) ).

There are two files in the COMMERCE section of my files:
measures-art      (21K)  1/ 5/98    Definitions of many medieval
measurements 
                                       by Marc Carlson (Diarmaid)
measures-msg      (74K)  6/ 7/99    Period measures and cautions for recipes.

The first being a bit more organised. The second being just the usual
hodgepodge of collected messages.

If you would like to write another article or maintain a page of
measurement conversions, I would be happy to host it on the Florilegium 
site.

Stefan

PS: Par, what does "/UlfR" stand for? Or is Par your regular name and
"UlfR" is your complete persona name? I've wondered for some time...
