Michlet, Flotilla and FIRM

[Leo Lazauskas]

Recent changes to Windows and some NVIDIA drivers caused many Michlet
graphic features to be painfully slow. Version 9.33 fixes these
problems for now. (But don’t be surprised if Windows changes again!)
Michlet can be downloaded from:
http://www.cyberiad.net/michlet.htm

Delftship can be used to create Michlet files. The hull offset table
can also be used by other free programs such as Flotilla and the Free
Internet Rowing Model (FIRM).

Flotilla is available at:

FIRM is at:

When designing rowing shells or other very thin and/or slender hulls
it is often advisable to work with a much wider representation because
Delftship only outputs 3 decimal places. I recommend using a hull that
is 10 times longer, 20 times wider and 10 times deeper to get enough
precision. Once the offset table is produced, FIRM or the other
programs can automatically scale it to the appropriate size.

I still can make the files from Delftship work in michlet, and there is a problema with creating the files of multihulls for michlet in delftship
