to both messages re numbers.

0.05 KiloTons is 50 TONs of TNT, A blockbuster bomb in WWII was 1 TON TNT.

I guess I just can't count zeros. A programmer doesn't know if bits are 1 
or 0 anyway. Yer right the 39K number is closer, but BANg vs BANG is good enuf.

BTW, the harm to the planet might be not much, but the loss of all those 
pricey protron accellerators and the like kinda hits the economy, space 
program and physics in general a bit, y'all know?

My phyziks is rusty, back in the transition between cgs and mks. One k OKs 
to you thanx.
