Students -- some of you have asked me about the conversion factors in 
the shipping cube.  Here are the ones I use...

    /* Conversions
      *    1 inch = 2.54 cm
      *    1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams
      *    1 foot = 12 inches
      *    1 pound = 16 ounces
      */

If you use these in your code then theoretically your output should be 
identical to mine.
