Yeah, I did this in ldglite a while back. You paste the peeron inventory
in the ldglite window (with a ctrl-V in ledit mode) and it arranges the
parts in a spiral so you can move them around and build the set. It's
kinda fun, but a bit slow importing because I redraw for each part.

Hi Anders, I think you need to work on your memory. ;^)

I've heard that doing puzzles (or better yet, coding LDRAW programs)
is good for the memory at our age...
Have fun,
