I asked because I started to build up my .dat files this weekend on the
exisiting sets I have. I figured that I should make electronic instructions
of my sets in case I ever "lost/burn/destoryed" the original instructions.
The naming issue of files I have already seen is a big problem especially
with sets that have multiple models to build. But as I can see from the few
posts that I have read it seems that several ways of naming and files
systems at this time are in play for e-instructions. So until the gods
above get there act together I guess I'm just going to continue to build up
my e-instructions and just post them on my website as I get them done. At
the rate I am going I'm doing 2 sets per day.
