OK, I've finished this primitive,
but before I re-submit it, I need to know
a couple of things...

Just what do I call the DAT file?
On my PC's hard drive, I'm calling it "RND-CRNR.DAT".
Is that food enough?

Also, what extra steps (if any) do I need to do
to get this accepted as an "official" primitive
in the next update?

Thanks!
Franklin

PS,
Since this post involves the naming of a primitive
and how to get it included into an official release,
I've redirected the follow-up to ".dev".

primitives).

At the "wrist" of the Skeleton Arm, there are four
_rounded_corners_ (as I call them).

Since there wasn't an already-existing primitive
to handle this (at least, not one that I was able
to identify as such), I made one.

(...) There's a primitives group who decides if the primitive should be accepted or not (it's been a while since we last discussed anything so I don't know if it's still active). I don't have the list of members in this computer so I think the best (...) (24 years ago, 15-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
