"squashing" An Object. I'm Simple:(

[zenzrrrr]

hello,

i'm a real beginner i'm afraid. i need to muster up a model of a "chain", i'm using 3dsmax 7 and have so far got a 'torus' object on the scene. is there a simple way to "squash" it a bit to make it more like a chain link? i'm thinking then i can just multiply it somehow and rotate them to make a chain...

thank you,

smiles,

z
