The folks who run this site have asked me to write about the lesson I learned from my biggest disaster. Just by asking for this, I fear that they are giving me more credit than is due. So the best I can do in that direction is to write about the stoopidest [sic] thing I ever did. If you don’t learn a lesson from the stoopidest thing you ever d, then you ain’t gonna learn ANY lessons.

I remember the article you wrote and SammMannings helpful illustartions : http://books.google.com/books?id=e8DbYrnAC5UC&pg=PA27&lpg=PA27&dq=mcclave+bevel&source=bl&ots=cK-dvmfi4p&sig=XHBDTX3OLHnalOmDU-6NVm_o3pM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=TAFtUKS_M6Ln0QH2voGAAQ&ved=0CCwQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=mcclave%20bevel&f=false
I also recall your software package (BevelGage?) and wishing I could at least get a look at it to see the features and capabilities.

Hello David,
I’m sorry to report that BevelGage is no longer available (except as a work-around update to allow registered users who purchased the program “way back when” to install it on 64-bit Windows systems). In any case, I suspect that most of the people on this site, and most of the potential customers if I did try to sell it again, use Macs. Apple did not then and does not now allow programs like BevelGage to run as native applications on Macs.
I have considered distributing it as shareware, but probably not.
