Hi Gary, I wonder if you would pass along my thanks to Dan Silva for posting his hedra.pxp routine. I downloaded it Sunday night and have been having a fascinating time since! A friend of mine and I have been discussing writing a routine to generate some polyhedra, but we could have never done anything so sophisticated as the one Dan did. As he notes in the readme file, there is probably not another program that can create this many types of polyhedra. Amazing. And all for free! Mark 🙂

Mark, I'll happily forward this on to Dan for ya. He's been wanting to find a few spare minutes to get those hedrons out of his system for years now. FYI, he sent me a new version of hedra that uses a smaller dialog so it'll work in a 640×480 screen (that's the only difference). I haven't heard of anyone complaining about the 800×600 current limitation, but I'm sure I'll eventually get around to updating the zip file to include both (for those folks who need to make polyhedra on the road via laptop <g>). But most important… I'm glad you're having fun!

Yes, must second that. Much appreciated! Ian.
