I have commented the neck mark area out of s\973s01.dat - actually it is only a
1/4 cylinder.

0 Uncomment for neck mark
0 1 16 0 -4 0 4.243 0 -4.243 0 -8 0 -4.243 0 -4.243 1-4cyli.dat

and will today be sending the amended subpart and the fixes to all the
currently approved torsos to Steve. These inlcude this extra line setting the
neck-mark colour appropriately.

If other authors have torsos in-the-pipeline (ie. submitted for voting), could
you please make this small amendment and resubmit.

Below I summarise the neck mark colours I applied to the existing torsos, but
this has raised some issues (detailed below).

Some torsos exist with more than one colour neck mark, but I think it would be
pedantic in the extreme to model both versions.

973P26 (Patch pocket) has White or Black on the Blue version and White on the
Black version - so I have coded white as being usable for both.

973P27 (Autoroute) exists in White or Black - I have arbitrarily coded White

973P46 (Forestman and Purse Pattern) has Black or Silver on the green version
and black on the Grey version - so I have coded Black as being usable for both.

973P48/49 (Maroon/Blue collared Forestmen) have Silver or Black (and maybe the
Black version does too) - I have arbitrarily coded Black

973P90 (Classic Space) has Black on the Red/Blue/Yellow versions, but White on
the Black version - I have coded Black, which means the Black version is
inaccurate.

(...) what neck color does the blue (wizzard I think) version of this torso have? (26 years ago, 5-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)
  Re: [part] Updated S\973S01.DAT
 
As per Chris' instructions, I just sent updated copies of the three minifig torsos I've done (p45, "Studded Armor [Fright Knights]; p70, "Bomber Jacket [Town]"; and, p102, "SW Rebel Mechanic") to Steve. Since the change is to the neck, which isn't (...) (26 years ago, 5-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)

Thank you, Chris! I think you made good choices where there are conflicting neck-colors. Did you note these issues in the part files? Also, would you mind making a 937p00.dat file, "Minifig Torso with Neck Mark Pattern"? Steve (26 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)
  Re: [part] Updated S\973S01.DAT
 
(...) Great! I see you have discussed the neck-mark in lugnet.cad.dat.parts and come up with a brilliant solution. The neck-mark has always been a PITA to me; it is THE ONLY linetype 1 we have with color 24. POV has no notion of a "reverse" color (...) (26 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad)
  How wide is the neck-mark?
 
(...) Hey, Chris, are you certain about this? The revised subfile that I copied from a previous message on this thread has a *half*-cylinder hole for the neck-mark, not just a *quarter*-cylinder. Because the gap in the subfile that I copied is a (...) (26 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad)
