I will be starting a FREE service to anyone that pays invoices promptly for
SLA work that PERA have done.

Two AWK programs will be shipped to those that comply and request the
software.

The AWK programs are line command programs that only run in UNIX.

One converts ASCII STL files into 3D Face DXF files works fine because STL
is a standard format.

The second converts 3D Face DXF files into ASCII STL files this is less
robust because it was written specifically for the output from a CAD package
called 3DGiG and sometimes works with older versions of 3D Studio. Autodesk
'God Bless em' keeps on mucking about with it so its unstable with newer
versions.

You can alter the source code if you want and if you understand AWK
programming.

If however you need the programs yet do not want the excellent SLA service
we can provide a small service charge of £50 will cover them both.
