How about 973p00 ?

Hmm.  A bit unorthodox, but it would work...

You realize that to make this change (remove the neck mark from 973.dat,
and add it where appropriate) requires changing *all* the patterned torsos?

But it'd really be a one-line change, with an easily recognizable failure
condition (i.e. the neck mark doesn't show up), so not many worries there.

Yah.  Just tedious.  I'd rather change 37 lines in one file, than one line
in 37 files.

My personal (perfectionist) preference would be to remove the mark from
973s01.dat and add it in the correct colour to each decorated torso.

Since I have authored the majority of the torsos, I feel a responsibility to do
this (wishing I'd challenged the status quo when I started). I'd need to check
that this does not create more varients where we have hardcoded the torso
colour.

This will not be soon (ie. probably not in time to be included in 2000-02) as I
have other parts I want to finish first. For the benefit of any other torso
work-in-progress, I'll post details of the changes here.

Since 973.dat would be the only file without a neckmark, it makes sense to keep the 3/4 neck in s\973s01.dat, and have each torso file (...) (24 years ago, 25-Aug-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
