   Wow!  Most of it went right over my head ("frustrum"?  What the heck is a frustrum?!), but CHORD.ZIP and CMITER.ZIP sound like WWing apps, CUTS.ZIP is worth a try I guess.  DIPSTICK.ZIP solves my oil tank dilemma.

   What about DOVETAIL.ZIP "Dovetails are traditionally measured across cylindrical rods wedged against the sloping faces. This tool implements the associated trigonometric calculations. "  What?!  Too funny!

   FEED.ZIP "Yet another feed rate calculator. You enter any three of: speed, number of cutting edges, chip load per tooth and feed rate and the program calculates the unknown quantity."  Hah!  This guy has waaaaayyyyyy too much time on his hands.

   I never made it to the end of the list.  Thanks Will, that was fun!  I'll probably try a couple/three of them.
