Hi, A long overdue fix for Bill of Materials images is working. Jake I'm really sorry that this took so long to fix, especially in light of the grief you got for *not* having BOM images in your book. I've also modified LPub to use subdirectories for (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I've been seeing various bionicle parts pop up in this brickshelf gallery, but I've never seen posts on lugnet or any contact info from Hadee. Anyone know if these are available some where or how to contact the author ? -JSM (URL) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general)

As soon as the second colour is produced the dat file is (...) (21 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
