When I was rendering a DAT file I just created, I noticed that the

plates corners were free-floating :-). I dug around in 10p03.dat
and saw that the 1-4disc primitive used for the corners had been
converted to BFC just recently. Figuring that the primitive's
normals were just pointed the wrong way I flipped them over the in
10p03.dat and everything rendered just fine.

Note to anyone, to avoid confusion: no primitives have *officially* been
converted to BFC.  Axel may have grabbed my set of unofficial conversions.

Q: Is this the right way to deal with this problem? (I figure most
baseplates would need their corners flipped, and I remember seeing
some missing surfaces in other pieces as well)

Sounds like the right way.  We should try to minimize use of INVERTNEXT.  A
flip is better than an INVERTNEXT.
