Known Problems
1. Small metric values give BeamBoy a headache. If your results look fishy, try converting to English units.
2. Some printers give BeamBoy an ingrown toenail. If your printer isn't working well and you're desperate, try a screen capture.

Notes
BeamBoy is no longer regularly supported, and is available here as legacy ware. Last updated November 9, 2004.
