If the segment-to-segment distance varies, never mind. Keep doing what your (...) (26 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.
