NavList:

I have updated the files for producing general configurable scales for the cylindrical Bygrave and MHR1 as well as 2 versions of the flat Bygrave. The Postscript output has been saved as pdf files for immediate printing. Full instructions are given in the accompanying document. I have also included files for flat Bygrave scales that should be printed on A3 paper for the best accuracy and are intended for use with a square beam compass. These were originally posted here https://navlist.net/Evolution-Flat-Bygrave-Stuart-jul-2021-g50886. Full instructions and a worked example are provided in the accompanying write up.

Concerning GSview 

Version 6 can be downloaded from  https://gsview.en.softonic.com/. It performs well for basic tasks but lacks much of the functionality and flexibility that was present in earlier versions and in some cases produces incorrect output. 

GSView 5.0  can be downloaded from https://www.ghostgum.com.au/software/gsview.htm. Unfortunately no further development is planned. It has been found that this version hangs when run on a PC with a high screen resolution. For some reason this prevents an initial popup window, saying that an unregistered version GSview is being used, from appearing. The solution is to lower the screen resolution, to for example 1920×1080, and it works just fine.
