How long is a mille on Solidar (aka Lydar)? And, is a vingt in Imager Portfolio the same as on Corus (where, IIRC, it's 2000 yards)?
For that matter, how long is a yard? A foot = 10 digits. Is a yard = 3 feet? Inquiring minds want to know.

Re: Units of distance in Imager Portfolio
A mille on Terahnar is also 2000 yards, and a yard is forty digits. If there are any vingts in the Portfolio, they are, alas, typos and should be milles [except in one place, where I wrote vingt when I meant quint and didn't catch it].

This is what I got for vingts in Scholar:
close to a vingt away, that held the Scholarium Solum ...
oncoming vessel, less than a vingt away ...
pirate was less than half a vingt from the Diamond

What can I say? Sometimes I screw up, and not even my editors can save me.
