I am trying to design a ramp which is extendable/collapsible. The assembly must fit into a space 8w X 4d. I haven't decided on the height yet. Does anyone have a suggestion? ======== Posted via the LUGNET discussion group web interface ======== (...) (26 years ago, 16-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)

I'd say get them for their "undisovered" uses.

Is the entire IM directory needed, or JUST the convert.exe? I'd like to delete all the rest if all I need is convert.exe, but I don't have the time to remove a file at a time until something breaks. Right now, it works, but that's an awful lot of (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
