(...) You probably couldn't find the posted mockup file because it was in the (now defunct) lugnet.cad.dat. The only way to find files from that group is with the websearch. BTW, thanks to Ron for re-posting the file. Steve (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Tim, I think it would be a Good Thing to make this a news item on the ldraw.org homepage. And then park it permanently on ldraw.org somewhere (like in an ldraw.org FAQ).
