program, including type of cut, and the value of the
cut, and generally improving certain aspects of the
tables by reducing them to formulae instead of tables
(the gp/flawtable, in particular). One house rule I
use is that a Repair spell canrepair one carat of
flaw in a gem. It's a fairly popular spell now.

    I was going to do a Windows version of the program (based on the C code 
you included) when I saw how complicated it really was.  The data tables are 
fabulous.  A huge range of items like jewelry, pin, ring.  A list of 
minerals that is longer than any I have seen.  Currency metals, Settings, 
and a large number of flaws.
    For the readers who haven't seen the program, the flaws are listed in 
negative value.  With the casting of a repair spell a carat of flaw is 
fixed, resulting in an increase in value.  In Neil's campaign, it would seem 
that "repair" is a money making spell.
    I would still like to do a windows version, with file saving and 
printer support.  Could you E-mail me off list about this (yes/no will do).  
Oh, did you say something about update?
