 | | LSynth within MLCAD tutorial

I have created a little tutorial that I use to show how to use LSynth in MLCAD (it is basically an extension of the holly-wood.it stuff with a few more details intended for wiring cables). This is intended for middle school teachers to use for their (...) (19 years ago, 19-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad)
