Al - haven't seen your post to powerh-l yet -- but the turn around on that
list sometimes seems to take forever.

While you're waiting, try this:

> define d-a num*12 = 82206
> define d-b num*12 = 41593
> define d-c num*12 &
>   = floor(round(d-a / d-b * 100) / 10) * 10
> define d-d num*12 &
>   = floor(round(d-a / d-b * 100) / 10)
> report &
>   d-a pic "^^^^^^.^^" &
>   d-b pic "^^^^^^^^^" &
>   d-c pic "^^^^.^^^^" &
>   d-d pic "^^^^.^^^"
> go

I get these results:

     D-A        D-B        D-C        D-D

     822.06      41593      .0190      .019
