Mark,
It's been ages since I've made a hood. When I saw this post I downloaded your program and tried it with a piece of paper....pretty neat. I have Windows Vista and it worked fine. I wanted to ask though, where does your measurement come from? It's no prob. converting mm to cm and cm to inch, but how do measurements convert to hood sizes?
ie) 2 inches entered into the program = size X hood
Is the measurement (to be entered) from the widest part of the hawk's head?
Thanks
