This is a great little free program for these sort of conversions.. NASA has used it: http://joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/ Ken H. On 21 August 2014 14:47, Richard N.

(PS there are no marine riggers or facilities in our area, we don't even have a West Marine!); Many thanks Richard 1985 37, CB Ohio River Mile 584; 2950 Breckenridge Lane, Suite Nine Louisville, Kentucky 40220-1462 502-584-7255 Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
