Quite a while back I asked for help in computing the equation of a circle from three known points, and I received very useful (and ultimately successful) assistance from several people. In addition, my searches led me to a piece of software that (...) (21 years ago, 15-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Do your own. Seriously, it doesn't exist. You might (if you look hard enough) find a site that claims to, but you'll be lucky if you can see any of your own site through all the ads. Other than that, you'll have to pay. Rates are pretty low (...) (21 years ago, 14-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
