Well, sort of. Here's more of the story: I asked Dan Boger if he could help with developing the new automated Parts Tracker. He's been working on it, as he's had time, for awhile now. Unfortunately, he doesn't really have any time to put into it, (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

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).
