This is the best NAME that I can think of for the Brown Minifig Torso in this set: "(URL) need the name for this piece because I'm encoding it as a DAT file.) The (slight, IMO) problem with this name is that it's 65 characters long, just one more (...) (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Thanks, Kevin. I've just checked this URL, and so far, all we have there is LDLite. Unfortunately, what I really need are the two parts for LEdit/LDraw (i.e., "complete.exe" and the other one, I forget what it's called...).

Hi! Now that I've gotten a 20GB hard drive installed in my PC, I'm reloading all the various LCAD programs onto the new drive. But I have a problem.
