your post lends a bit of fresh perspective, which allows me to dump this 
ancient old CADD program.
It's taken up shelf space long enough.
I'll never use it and it's not worth anything to anyone else, so out it 
goes...
I've some old AutoCAD Reference manuals too...out they go!

Thanks for the impetus....
