Hi Willy,
Thanks for the background. So, if the header just needs to be cleaned up, you
recommend novote with a note about the header format?
If I can ask for one more example, how would you respond to a header like this?
0 Car Mudguard 4 1/2 x 1 x 1
0 Name: 50947.dat
0 Author: Michael Heidemann <mikeheide@web.de>
0 Unofficial Model
0 // 2005-05-17 subfiled
As I currently understand your advice, novote to suggest !LDRAW_ORG and maybe
!HISTORY meta-commands instead of current comments?
Still just trying to get a feel for how strictly y'all adhere to specifications.
Thanks,
Jim
