Terry, I haven't seen any hose ends from you. Maybe you're waiting until I publish the spreadsheet to do them yourself. I'll probably continue testing until the middle of next week, then if I continue to get good results I'll publish the spreadsheet (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, if your hose-maker keeps the segments a constant distance apart, all that is needed is the spheres and then circles positioned where the spheres intersect. If the segment-to-segment distance varies, never mind. Keep doing what your (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Beer yellow is just another term for trans-yellow. It's pretty descriptive. Just use the regular clear yellow - color #46. It's the only trans-yellow game in town. Well, you could really get extreme, dig up an RGB value for the murky-beer (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
