Jeez, I can't believe I took so long to get back to you.  What a fink I am!

Anyway, these look like Byggis parts, insofar as they used similar grooved
bricks in the Jurassic Park set I snagged on Ebay a few years ago.  But I
hesitate to suggest that these really are Byggis elements, because you were the
one who identified a few of my own unknowns when I first encountered them:

So it seems likely to me that you'd have identified these as Byggis, too, if
that's what they are.

Do the grooved bricks have any logos on the studs?  For that matter, do they
have tubes on the underside, or are they hollow as indicated in the datfile you
posted?  If these *are* clones, would you like to submit them to the
ever-delayed clone.dat library?

Thanks for sharing, in any case.

Dave!
