I want to extend a big Texas "Thank you!" to John Ross, the director of the Fort Hays State University Forsyth Library in Kansas. When I found out I was losing my web page server, John stepped up and provided space for this site on the library's server as part of their digital library. Thanx a bunch, John and everyone at the university that helped out with the transfer!!!

Rob Schorry has created an Excel spreadsheet that plots parabolic curves. He uses it to shape parabolic antenna dishes on his spacecraft models. Directions on how to use it are embedded in the spreadsheet. Of course, you'll need a copy of Excel to make it all work...

For those of you needing to make conical shrouds and transitions, Robert Blaske has a Javascript shroud calculator program on his web site at http://www.realmcommunications.com/rblaske/shroudcalc/shroudcalc.htm. This program calculates shrouds (cones with the top cut off) as a flattened
shape. It calculates radii and angle to a high degree of accuracy using any
unit of measure. 3/3/99
