Greetings Fellow Dialists,
I have discovered the millennium bug. I know its whereabouts. The
reason it has escaped detection and why people say they have not
encountered it is because they are not looking in the right place. Far
from it. You have met it. But it is not in your computer. In
See Astronomical Algorithms by Jean Meeus, pp 135-6. It is recommended
for astronomical calculations. The Astronomical Almanac probably has
values also.
The mean obliquity is (defined by the International Astronomical Union):
23 deg 26'21.448 - 46.8150 T - 0.00059 T^2 + 0.001 813 T^3
Hi Steve and others:
It looks like the text printing problem of DC drawings will not be easily
solved. That's ok. What's really important is that the print shop is able
to make good large copies of everything else. It is pretty easy to cut and
paste text onto bond paper or use sticky back

I can reveal that it is the second n in millennium.
Someone told me that in French it is spelt with one 'n' - no doubt someone
on this list will tell me if I am wrong - if not then this 'bug' doesn't
travel East! I wonder if this varies in other languages

Question: Is there a source, or
As far as I know it is because in a HPGL file the characters are not
described using their ASCII value but as a bunch of vectors. So it will
always be difficult to see the difference between the character A and three
lines drawn in a way that they resemble the character A.

Do you know of a way to e-mail DC drawing files to somebody who doesn't
have DC?
John,
The answer is. you guessed it: a DXF file. That why the DXF files are
created. DXF stands for Drawing X-change File.
