Are the long ledge versions older than the short ledge versions?
Why not have the oldest version 'a' and the newer version 'b', etc.
The window frame and the glass are actually two seperate parts,
glued together. When making the glassed version of the 7930 door.
I have been told to create a new part for the glass, currently
x268.dat and 7930c01 for a combination of the door 7930.dat and
glass x268.dat.
I'm curious about Chris Dee's and Steve Bliss' opinion about this
windows issue?

Likes these windows a lot! (as many more of the old parts)
