Bob, One more suggestion: Because there is no "brickwall"-structure in your MLCad results, it might not be such a bad idea to alternately read lines from left to right and from right to left. In my program I also have something like this: For I = 0 (...) (21 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mosaic)
