The excel entry sheets had 0.5 (taken from the 0-1 on the field data)
and that was the origin of the BABASE entry problem because we coded
BABASE to accept only integers, which seemed the most consistent way to
go (see stream).

Yes, this was a decision that Jeanne and Tabby made with regards to  
the troublesome "0 to 1" size designation. We don't actually have a  
0.5 size at the moment, so I don't think this is actually a  
replacement, but Tabby or Jeanne can clarify.
