Correct. I was just inquiring about it - not stating that I was going to

and maybe that is in part the reason for my enthusiasm about it. I will
work toward a universal version first.

I also didn't realize this. I do realize that numerous people will be

Keep Building!!

| Ben Vaughan & all: I am interested in making a Shockwave Flash version of ldraw.org to give it a little spice. Ben, you use shockwave on your marsbase site, and I am confused on how to create things in shockwave. I have visited Macromedia's website (...) (27 years ago, 10-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
