Hello Lars, Are you still developping your mklist program for making the parts list ? I liked the program because it runs on both my MS-DOS 6.2 machine at home, and the (new and fast) Windows NT 4.00 based machine at work. I can't test it, but your (...) (26 years ago, 17-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
