Hi everybody!

I have a question: I regularly download official and unofficial parts update
from lDraw official site and often I found some new parts referring to colors
that are no more supported, at least if I refer to official lDraw color
definition file (LDConfig.ldr).

For example in the today updated unofficial parts definition I find reference to
color 39 that is not listed in LDConfig.ldr.

39 has never been an official LDraw color but a MLCad color. Parts (officials as
well as unofficials) using MLCad colors have to been recolored. A complete list
can be found here:

OK, understand!
So using lDraw colors is the right way for the future.
MLCad color in parts have to be fixed.

Anyway I think it should be a good practice to disallow new (official or
unofficial) parts using other than official lDraw colors.

One more thing: it is possible to distribute pre-colored/hard colored parts in
separate files other than official/unofficial ones. Or at least fix the header
file to include the 'Physical_Colour' attribute for needing files.

If anyone can do this, I can send the list of files needing the fix!
