Thanks for the HP-Agilent cost basis PDF.
For some reason or another, I found it poorly written. Was it me, the wine or the fact that it was just Saturday?
I am use to quite complex math but poor writing / description / directions don't enable technical solutions as too much leaway is bad.

Anyway, thanks, I am SURE there will be more discussion as COMS releases the calculation method with their own technical writing (accounting not engineering) :-)
