I think I'll avoid Blight's "mods"

Blight, it is easy to give proper credit. I "modded" Hitman's AOB whiz wheel, with his permission and knowledge, converting it from .bmp format to DeltaCad format to get a little bit "crisper" printout. Thread where Hitman and I discussed it is here:

1st thing I've ever contributed to the community, and here is what I put in my "readme":

Hi, I'm DirtyHarry3033 of Subsim.com. I've taken the liberty, with Hitman's permission, of converting his AOB whiz wheel calculator into DeltaCad format. The advantage (and only reason I did the conversion) is that a CAD file prints out razor-sharp whereas the .bmp version is slightly blurry. I'm sure that's only my obsession with "perfection", Hitman's .bmp's work perfectly. I just wanted to get that extra millimeter of perfection with respect to the appearance ;^)
Descriptions of slight appearance-related mods I made follow, along with the link to download the needed CAD program, and the limitations of the demo version.

Regarding usage/distribution, this is NOT my work, it's Hitman's - all I did was convert his work to CAD format with his permission. So I'll quote Hitman's readme here:

These wheel templates can be freely hosted and distributed by anyone as long as:
1.- It is not modified without my knowledge and permission.
2.- No money is made out of it without my permission.

That's all! Enjoy, and good hunting!

See, that's easy! I didn't take credit, I gave credit. If I couldn't bring myself to do that, I'd never have released it and let some newbie think that it was my work.
