Michael, (I just noticed you use Michael, not Mike. Sorry) I was wondering what your thoughts on sharing the code of MLCad were. I was wondering about the feasability of porting it to Mac. Any thoughts? Thanks, Gino A... (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Mike, I love MLCad. Ok, that's out of the way. I'd like to request a change to how the arrow keys work in MLCad. I'd like a configuration option that causes the up-down and left-right arrows to respond relative to the currently selected frame. With (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
