Does anyone have a DAT for the small digger/excavator arm and bucket? I'm surprised to find this old favourite missing when other 'upstarts' (e.g. Mindstorms) are all there! Jason J Railton (23 years ago, 5-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Great news Steve - thanks for all the work you've put into this. I plan to review the parts which I have IRL (and didn't author myself) this weekend. Or can I "certify" my own parts, also? Chris (23 years ago, 5-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Just a few quick items. Some good news, some not-as-good news. First, there's a new report-page, which shows the 'certification status' for each part. The parts that are ready for release are at the top of the list, the rest are below. And the most (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes, but there are some problems: 1. LDraw (and LEdit) can't be changed to render new colors. So if we arbitrarily select color codes in the 0 - 255 range, the old programs won't work. 2. LDraw renders colors 17-31 the same as colors 1-15 (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
