Wow, I'm amazed! I've saved the DXF, it looks ok by eye,
later I'll transfer it to my Windoze machine and see if
it can read the DXF.

I did it this way (in Linux):
- fill in the variables and hit "Go"
- up comes the text file in an "XV" window....
but saving it made junk, and I couldn't copy
and paste it....
- however, the file that XV was reading was something
like "/tmp/MO3EB5C11F00E4200.svg" so I saved it by
copying that file into my working directory...
"cp /tmp/MO3EB5C11F00E4200.svg 63T_12P.dxf "

Rich, If you can't figure out a work-around for windows,
email me what you want, and I'll email you back the DXF
text file.

Finally, Kevin & JoeV thanks for the link, this is GGGGRRRREAT !
