Seemed like a simple problem, but the more I looked the more problems
I had. I found a lot of applications on sourceforge but most of them
wouldn't compile as apparently I don't have the right lib files. I
fought that problem a few hours and finally gave up, at least for a
while. The last straw was a program that demanded a lib file that was
outdated, something like lib.6.0 and all I had, or could find, was
lib.10.0 and it wouldn't work.

I'm down on the boat for a while and will live with what I've got but
when I get back home I'll get after it again.

Sounds like a plan, Bruce. Probably won't take more than a few more
days work - this week, anyway.
I admire your stick-to-it-iveness.
Have fun!

No, "this week" was scheduled to bond in new ports in the aft cabin.
Removed the old plastic windows and frames. Ground down the outside of
the cabin sides smooth and free of old paint and damaged gelcoat,
primed with 2 part primer, refinished the inside paneling, cut the
windows and drilled all bolt holes, masked and cleaned all surfaces.

Only to discover that there was no Sikaflex 295 UV left in Thailand
and new supplies are expected in "a couple of weeks".....

boat."
