About the Bates Engineering DOS programs....I have never used DOS and
didn't start "computin" until Windows became the "standard?" Are the
programs such that they can have the required info input into standard
Excel worksheets? If they can, the spar program would be a great tool
to play with in designing an I-beam spar similar to what the Vans
aircraft use.
