Hrm.....my mind can't grasp some of this right now.  Maybe it'll sink in.
But it does give me a slight idea on something....hrm...

I'm down to 60k of data for the ship construction stuff about 4 files from
600k.  Unfournately I got rid of 90% of the notes and compressed it down to
what I have now.  Not as much as i suspected I could use but good idea.
Now to organize it and get it into a single document.
Unfournately I'm redoing it every few tries as I'm not happy with the
format so far...sigh...
