I know it's off topic, but for those that didn't know, one can use LDRAW or MLCAD to make models using Knex(R) pieces, LEGO(R), and Sploids(R). Sploids let one build with and interconnect LEGO and Knex. I just ordered some Sploids, but I noticed (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) written in 1999, so it's apparent that the project has been underway for some time.

This single directory zip file doesn't seem to be a problem for MLCAD at least. I just made a new sub-directories under /PARTS and called them KNex & Sploids.
