Kinorb^2?, deckplans, elm burster...

TML message #2221From bundle 176

Hi all!

I've been pretty quiet lately (not at ALL like me, right Brucer?), but the
fiber optic cable is installed, the local network is running, and we're
attached to the internet!  And as I come up for air, I have Questions!

1)	Maybe I missed a list-explanation of this, but there are TWO Kinorbs
	on the Spinward Marches map: 2202 and 2512.  What gives?  It's not a
	really *pretty* name...sounds like something your doctor can remove
	easily with local anesthesia.

2)	Now that we're part of the SMART data net, I've been ftpeeing around,
	and I grabbed the deckplans from the sunbane server.  They wouldn't
	print.  I used a VAX and an Ultrix system to send it to an LN03
	Scriptprinter.  Anyone have any ideas for me?

3)	And in the area of contribuiting, I have made up deckplans for the
	Lady of Shallott class Yacht.  It probably violates many rules and
	conventions, but for the role players it might be ok.  (design freaks
	would probably be displeased)  Anyway, it's done in MacDraw (damn
	cute little machine has been sitting in my office gathering dust:
	thought I'd see how it worked...)

	How do I convert from MacDraw to Postscript, as that seems to be
	a format-of-exchange?

4)	And lastly, now that the UNIX box is on the net, I'm getting TML here.
	A while back, someone posted a digest-burster for elm.  Can anyone
	point me toward it?  I can't seem to find it anywhere.  (My accounts
	look a lot like my desk.  And my car.  And my apartment...)

5)	Got the new MegaTraveller Digest.  It gets the Earl of Margesi seal
	of approval!  Buy this, if only for the map of Deneb.  (but there is
	a lot more.)  Oregon seems to suit DGP.
