Re: [ModularSynthPanels] panel options

2006-06-20 by Richard Brewster

Don't forget the HPGL tick marks templates Dave Brown uploaded to the 
files section:

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/ModularSynthPanels/files/DJB%20designs/

The files are named 1U HPGL.fpd and 2U HPGL.fpd.

These are really nice.  I may use these templates if I make more DIY panels.
