External routine access

[Bill Walker]

Hi Bob,

I know Nancy has pointed out that using QUICK is the only way to do this.

To continue on a theme, if you only have nnn possible input values, you
could as a one-off exercise, generate a reference file which contains the
metric measure, feet & inches and the required text. You can then access
this from QUIZ whenever is necessary via the metric value.

Hope this helps.
