Peter,
Dan had his own way to calculate set and drift. I only know my way to do it 
and am just barely aware of other solutions to that problem. On one of the 
lists the subject came up and I posted a question on NavList about this a 
couple of hours ago. It seems that two lists are more then I can keep track 
of.

Peter said,
?A blank plotting sheet might be a nice inclusion, that could be photocopied 
as needed. Which reminds me: there are a lot of useful resources like this on 
the homepage. Will you be keeping them accessible after 31 May??

We will consider things to add for increasing the books helpfulness. And 
unless Dan objects I will keep the page up for some time and decide what to 
do later. It doesn?t cost any extra to have it so why not.
