Ran faster without ADVAN 6 and DES as well. Sorry to have bothered everyone; I thought I needed $DES to define A(2). WRT the BSA equation, This is from Mosteller RD. Simplified calculation of body-surface area. NEJM 1987; 317: 1098. Works very well in adults and children - much easier to remember on the wards for dosing chemo. Ht and Wt are in centimeters and kilograms, actual body weight is used. Let me know if you would like a pdf copy of the paper. Thanks again for your suggestion - it saved a great deal of frustration.
