                                   Triangle d is 5:2 while triangle D
                                   is 8:3, but 5/2 is not 8/3, so the
                                   diagonal is not a straight line...

| For any of you folks on the VAXstation, I've got a nice representation for these triangles. Try: $ copy AMBER::VSTA$DEMO:TRIANGLE.EXE * $ RUN TRIANGLE It draws and labels pretty pictures for the triangles. And the diagonals ARE straight lines !!! p.s. If you have any trouble getting this, please let me know. | |||||

| Are you on a V4.0 or V3.7 system? Executables are no good from 4.0 to 3.7. Beth | |||||
