If you look closely at Classic Windows, you'll find that there are
diffeences in many details. See
http://home.swipnet.se/simlego/pix/compare3.jpg for the details I have found.
See suggested 27a.dat, 27b.dat, and 27c.dat (recently posted).
The oldest windows I have, have solid studs and solid bottom pins.
Those a little newer have open studs but still solid bottom pins.
Then some of them got what I call thin walls.
Then slotted bottom pins.
At last, and at least in my collection the most common variant: no holes on
top and with shorter ledge.
(There is also a VARIANT of 1x2, 2x1, and 1x1 that I am forced to
unwillingly mention: So called "windows" without glass. Peep holes would be
a more proper name for them! Some bag maker are probably to blame for their
existens. This most obscure variant is *NOT*, I repeat *NOT* the standard
version of those windows! Even if they happen to be more common in the US(?))
So, how many versions should we include? As it is now, there is at least one
too little.
My suggestion is:
* Solid/hollow studs: Ignore, always use hollow studs
* Solid/slotted bottom pins: Ignore, always use slotted bottom pins
* Thin/thick walls: Use thick walls only for the 6-wide windows.
* Long/short ledge: Too important to neglect. Make two different versions.
(a) Short ledge, no top holes (wide glass in 646a.dat)
(b) Long ledge, with top holes (narrow glass in 646b.dat)
And for the 3 exceptions mentioned above
(c) Short ledge, no top holes, without glass
39c01.dat be moved to 39a.dat
39.dat be moved to 39c.dat
29c01.dat be moved to 29a.dat
29.dat be moved to 29c.dat
27c01.dat be moved to 27a.dat
27.dat be moved to 27c.dat
31.dat be moved to 31a.dat
7026.dat, 453, 645, 646 be moved to *a.dat
604.dat, leave as is (ignore hole/no hole)
(b) versions with long ledge are made to all with (a) versions
While moving, we make BFC certified versions with 3d-glasses in color 47.
Please respond now to these suggestions or remain silent. I will not have
the discussion on this Tracker - that will take *far* too long time.
