Hi Steve and others:

Before I knew how to print and modify Zonwvlak drawings with DeltaCad (two
weeks ago), I prefered Francois Blateyron's Shadows program for prints
because it produced much nicer drawings on my printer and seemed much more
user friendly and easier than Zonwvlak.  I still think Shadows is a great
sundial generator program, and maybe one of the best programs for a
beginner.  But now I prefer Zonwvlak and your drawings (with DeltaCad)
because the drawings can be modified and customized.  I don't think Shadows
can be further modified other than the choices allowed within the program
itself.  Try it out!  It's fun and easy. (It is in color and the hour lines
have numerals).

You can download Shadows from: <http://web.fc-net.fr/frb/sundials/shadows.html>

Also, I found a complete list of other sundial generator programs at:
<http://www.sundials.co.uk/comprogs.htm> There may be some newer ones that I
aren't on this list and some of those listed are no longer available.

Have fun,
