Twips

Sometimes I hate working with computers. Sometimes I love it.

Today I have been delving into the mysterious chasm that is Microsoft's RTF specification (not a task I would recommend or wish on my worst enemy). One interesting passage that caught my eye was this:

"N is the width in twips of the pen used to draw the paragraph border line"

Fair enough.

After a quick Google search I found out that a twip is 1/1440 of an inch. Very useful indeed.
