naming for some half-primitives

I've got a little little problem with primitives. I'm working on the 61808.dat
file (I guess I'll do it with 61811.dat parallel...), and to ease it up and to
save disk space the file will be in four quarters.

So, to have such things, you inevitably need half- and quarter-primitives. This
time, I needed half-versions of axlehol4.dat, npeghol3.dat and npeghol5.dat.

Making these primitives was not a problem, a little larger problem is, though,
how I should name them. Now, I have them named 2-4axlehol4.dat, 2-4npeghol3.dat
and 2-4npeghol5.dat.

Is such naming OK, and if it isn't, what should it be instead?

(...) Please just use the next available axlehoXX and npegholX numbers; axleho10.dat (thats one-zero not ell-zero), npeghol8.dat and npeghol9.dat. I want to sort out a better naming convention for these, but I don't want to hold up creativity. Chris (...) (16 years ago, 26-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

(...) If I have such a problem I use those primitives that are not presently available in the main file, while the other stuff goes into the subfile that I then use several times. cu mikeheide (16 years ago, 26-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
