IIRC, Suzuki's macro makes really impressive looking rope "right out of the
box".


As a directly related aside:

I don't know if we have a readily accessible Colefax macro repository, but I
don't recall seeing the Rigging.inc.

It would be nice if someone could post an archive of the complete Colefax
macros, and I can probably put it on my use page so that it's easy to find.

I was also searching some stuff and found a reference to John VanSickle's
reorient_trans macro in an academic paper! ( :D )

I had to use the WayBack Machine to access his old web page - so I'll probably
try to copy-paste those onto my page, so that they aren't lost in the sands of
time.
