Thanks. Adding the E192 values is a good idea, but I'm not so sure about 
mixing  different resistor tolerances. For example, what's the point in 
paralleling 5% and 0.1% resistors? If they are approximately equal, the 5% 
tolerance and drift characteristics would dominate, so you would get a very 
fine adjustment of a lousy resistor:)
