I was trying to find information about Steve Bliss' LDraw Add On program.  It's
version 2.1.4.  When I did a search on the CAD newsgroups for 2.1.4 and "2.1.4"
I got zero hits.  So, I posted a question about the program in the
CAD/Development group, and Steve replied with a link to a thread (1 month

turn this up?

Thanks,
James

Including the author's name is frequently useful when (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jul-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
