Read the comments at the top of MIRROR.INI in the zip file. I
already did a bunch of wings. Only tested one though...
Is there something special about files starting with 1, or
are you taking an alphabetical approach? Sadly, I created my
sample MIRROR.INI from a PARTS.LST sorted by description, not
part name. :^(

That was my plan, and it takes almost no work. We just have to mark
them as done somewhere and eventually remove them from MIRROR.INI when
all the parts have been checked. See the comments in MIRROR.INI to
see how I've been marking the flag field to tag parts I've worked on.
I suppose you could use a flag of 9 to indicate a part that fits the
default profile, so we know we've made a decision on it. We'll know
we're done when there are no 0 flags left.
Have you tested the mirwiz.exe program on any .LDR files yet? It's one
way to spot the exceptions not yet handled in MIRROR.INI. And it's
kinda fun.
Enjoy,
Don
