Hi Terry,
Thanks again for your link to "CHANGE.ZIP" - I am not sure I
understand the note starting with "05/21/05"
It has been quite a few years since I have unzipped a file. I am
surprised to find that Windows of various shades have the unzipping
program built in. I have downloaded and unzipped the Changewheel
program. I haven't got the hang of it yet - particularly how you set
up the list of gears that you have available and how you instruct the
program that you want imperial threads, or metric threads. I am sure
a little playing with it will show me how to do this.
I won't be able to play with it for some days as I am going up to
the Midlands in order to visit a fellow model engineer, and then we
will both go off to the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition. This
involves a couple of days travel on National Express buses. Lets hope
that the rain isn't too bad for the sake of the car-park at the
exhibition site.
Cheers,
Roger Mason, in St. Agnes.
