Hi Rowland,
I too had a problem with the dxf file, opening it in AutoCAD 2002 (PC)
gave an error, however it opened fine in Microstation v8.1 from which I
saved it as a dwg, which opens no problem in AutoCAD. I have attached
the dwg for you, if you want it in any other formats let me know and
I'll see what I can do.
When you get the tri-gear version, I'd be grateful if you could send me
it, as it is the tri-gear that I am building.
Thanks,
Paul

Don't think it's the latter as the file I distribute on the CD-ROM is
pretty much as I received from Andy. (It may have acquired a Mac icon
in the resource fork, but DOS-based systems ignore that and only read
the data fork anyway). I have also tried re-saving it from CADintosh
and that creates a DXF file about twice the size. I suggest we
exchange files at the Europa Club Committee meeting on Saturday so I
can have the tri-gear on next week's CD-ROM.
regards
Rowland
