I looked at the above two statements and basically went "eek!" at
all the implicit type conversions potentially going on above. :-)

Does VB do the right thing above or do variables F and C get
type converted to an integer (with loss of information) before
the above calculations are done ?

Just curious. (In situations like that, I would have written the
integers with a decimal component, so 32 would become 32.0 for example.)
