Hi folks,
since there is no opposition to this request I'm gonna unhide the 208 currently
at the PT:
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=208
and since we are here would you confirm that the lenght of the chain has changed
over the years form 17.25 Studs to currently 16 Studs and that there are now two
versions of chain links which have to be authored?

I can confirm two new sets (8958 and 6193) with the shorter chains.
And now that we've opened this can of worms, what about unhiding the
end studs (572a.dat) used in the pirate rigging and spiderman rope
parts (76384, 75924, 572C02, and 572C01)?
