I'm guessing that your Google works about the same as mine but have you considered contacting the source?

I had unsuccessfully checked the Carr site, so .. an Email is in the ether ..

I recall seeing a reference by Reinaldo, but not the source.

Thanks Luis, I'll see how successfull the Email is first.

Unfortunately, Mr Carr does not have an electronic copy.

Luis, I will take you up on your offer. Can you try to get a copy please ?

I have a copy.  The file name is avlisp.doc.  I honestly don't recall where I got it or whether there were any conditions regarding redistribution, but there doesn't appear to be anything in the document itself to bar it.

If you determine that you feel comfortable forwarding a copy I'd sure like a boo. Thanks Chuck.

I suppose that is possible.  I had assumed it was probably linked to in a discussion at the vault, but I used to frequent some of the discussion.autodesk.com groups as well.

I think I'll do a little poking around to make sure it's ok before I upload it anywhere.

Chuck,
Harold Carr's site has his Email address.
I'm fairly sure he would allow the file to be posted, provided you send a copy to him as well.

Thanks Kerry.  I just fired off an email to the address he listed in the actual document.  It bounced.

So that URL would be http://haroldcarr.net ?

Just to keep everyone in the loop, I sent Harold Carr an email at the address listed on his site yesterday.  As of this moment, I haven't heard back from him.  If he doesn't ever reply to my message, there is still a chance I could get permission from his co-author, Robert Holt (assuming I can find a valid email address for him).

Sorry if it seems like I'm dangling a carrot.

Well, after all that, I didn't get the information I wanted .. no worries ..

.. But that doesn't detract from the paper at all !

I particularly re-read the AutoLISP and ADS section.
