Forgive me if I seem a little confused, here, but should I download Paul's
file(s) for use? Or create my own? And do I name it t04x0100.dat, or is
this not decided yet?
(A bit off-topic, but still relavant)
Steve: Is my userID and password set up, or did you get my email? If I
messed something up, feel free to "let me have it".
Paul: I haven't forgotten about the 30116 panel 14 x14 x 2 2/3, I plan on
submitting it on the ldraw tracker. Thanks for all your help on this one!
And all the work you've done on torii.
Thanks guys,
