[Rhodes22-list] Mark about SLIM'S Dinghy

Ed,

Yes - Slim and I were just testing it and I think he's going to try posting
his latest effort to the list.

I'll give him a day and if he doesn't, I'll send it along.

Mark

Slim,

Save the file in any common format (I can convert most formats) and send
it
to me directly - my server at home will accept it and I'll convert and
post
it for you.  Don't know much about Macs.

Thanks Ed but I use a Mac--'Print Key' looks like it's only for Windows.
If
you know of any compatible programs for Mac, let me know.
