On cutting miters

Or you can go here and find the link for 'hoppers.zip':

It's a simple, small spreadsheet that will let you find the compound
angles of ANY number of sides with ANY side slope. Ain't nothin' new,
it's been available from my www site since before Al Gore invented the
internet.

Not self-installing, no executable, 33kb, any version of any OS (just
gotta have Excel or Quattro Pro). Graphics? Sure, it's got some
graphics. If you can't figure out what to do from the instructions and
graphics, you probably shouldn't be messing around with sharp objects
in the first place.
