Fellow dialists, I have rewritten my equatorial dial in native postscript and I think it is much improved. It is also available in PDF but PostScript users can change the motto and include a longitude correction or even change the design substantially by changing a few parameters.
If anyone would like to point out mistakes or other flaws please be my guest(s.) If you're using ghostscript and PostScript files are not centered on the page when it comes out of your printer you can adjust the printer properties to compensate. I have some sympathy for the fellow who didn't want attachments. I have a cousin who sends me email with attachments and when I asked her to stop she told me that she didn't know how to stop and didn't even know that shw was doing it so I just learned to live with it. Likewise I wish people wouldn't send email as HTML but I figure that they either want to do it that way or don't know any better. It's easy to get tunnel vision. I figure that everybody's not going to wise up and think like me so I let them do what they want (even if it means putting up with those @$%*! frames!) The dial is at http://www.cyberspace.org/~jh/dial/ Happy dialling! John
