What is astonishing is the support on this list. There are so many good,
knowledgeable and helpful people here. I learn each day a solution on
the list for a problem I did not even know existed.

Think of all the excellent products and user communities which have
disappeared over the past thirty years (Victor 9000, MultiMate, STSC APL
anyone?). To find R:Base alive and well as one of the highest-integrity
product/user-communities in three decades is ... something. Find the
word. Something else. Kudos, Razzak and crew!
I recall our first application in ... 1985? Took the US Steel detailer's
book, ginned up a parameter description of steel shapes and take-outs;
feeding them into a floppy-based NASA-developed public domain 3-D
program to produce multi-story structures, rotatable in real-time on
8088 XTs (no 8087 co-processor required).
Why I dropped it, I cannot justify. Maybe it was a girl, or tequila; my
grey hairs shrug their collective shoulders and swear they can't
remember. Uh-Huh. Probably the tequila.
I could just kick myself.
