Thank you, John. Not sure what all the discussion is about. CAD is not a magical panacea, but it is quite useful, and John has just offered to donate 6 copies.
HELLO PEOPLE!! Let's stop quibling about implementation details and graciously accept the offer, we're rocket scientists, I think we can work out the details. >From the legal standpoint I think Henry has satisfied the export restrictions debate, besides we already publish flight control software under the GPL. >From a liability point what lawyer is going to sue ERPS or its officers? None of the officers is exactly rich, most being unemployed. And despite the extraordinary stories about liability suits, most such suits are quickly dismissed. I think TurboCAD has a Drawing Template feature for automagically including title blocks and such. Put a disclaimer in there. Maybe also add a disclaimer to the monthly list reminder. For the couple of us that do not have a Windows box, we can probably build suitable boxes from the idle cluster machines. For sharing files, there are converters available for postscript and pdf. There is something to be said for sending links back to a ftp site where list readers can get the file format they want. But all this is implementation details that can be worked out. Let's get some CAD running and some info flowing. And again, thanks, John.
