Thanks a lot, I have received them. I am checking them now. I appreciate it 
a lot, and promise you to give you very well credits if I manage to use them 
for the imperial carrier I am working on. Promised!

Pleeeaaase, inform me (or all of us, here) somehow once you have them ready.

News of what, Sven?

None of your recent posts have quoted who or what you are replying to. 
As you say it was 10 years ago and if you are using a newsreader, like 
me. Your posts appear as orphaned posts.

That certainly depends on your newsreader settings.

But I do agree that re-opening discussions from 10 years ago isn't
really a too promising idea.

Yes, true. I probably stopped Thunderbird from downloading all the posts 
in p.b.i. as they only go back to 2010. Whereas in p.b.sceen-files the 
earliest is 1997.

Especially when you think of the age of some of the posters. <Gulp!

Yes, of course you all are right. My newsreader (Thunderbird) also never
showed these very old posts. But just by very lucky accident, I found
these threads with the Google search engine. I didn't like to open them
with my web browser, as I prefer their display in Thunderbird.

That is the reason, why I "marked" those ancient threads with some sort
of comment. Less for restarting any discussion, but more for the reason
to bring them up again inside my Thunderbird newsreader.

I am trying to find the source code, Zeger Knaepen had published within
one of his comments within these threads, as I need now that macro.
Easier to find (hopefully) in the better sorted view Thunderbird gives me.

With other words: unless you have that macro, there is no reason to
continue those old discussions (I agree fully). Unless, greebles
motivate the one or other of you, then a new discussion would make sense.

Since I have them back in my newsreader now, I am searching them now for
that macro. My apologies for bringing these old (but for me highly
interesting) discussion back. :-)

Responding to an old post does not magically make the old post appear in 
Thunderbird unless you also include the quoted text.

Well, as I tend to keep (almost) everything, here is the greebles macro 
you mention.

Biiig thanks! Got it, Thomas!

Is it that version that can do boxes and cylinders, or is it the
previous version that does only boxes? Any idea?

---------------

Mike: yes, posting some little text did the trick for me in the
Thunderbird newsreader: I saw this thread, and it was right on top.

As far as I can tell, that's the version that does prisms.
There should be a parametric patch version somewhere

Ok, the attached zip-file may or may not contain all needed files, but 
the code is not pretty..
at all.. :)
