Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Resistors

If that wasn't enough.... I have a small program that automatically
calculates resistor values from a point and click style interface. I can't
remember where it came from but it's off the net and I got it for free from
a download. If anyone would like a copy give me a shout off the list at
johnhe-uk@...
