Geordan, I don't know what platofrm you're on, but Microsoft Paint (bundled with Windows, natch) has a reasonably good scale function. I usually use Photoshop, though...

Deterrence is what prevented both nations from even thinking about launching their arsenals. To (...) (23 years ago, 31-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
