Todd,

For the sets group, it would help if we had a standardized way of naming TLG
sets.  Just using the set number gets us in trouble when multiple sets have the
same number.  I assume Pause has some sort of coding system to deal with this.
Would there be a way to make this coding system available to people wishing to
post .dat's of sets?  Maybe a searchable list of set names/numbers with a
unique code for each.

(...) Yup, it does! It is currently (but won't always be) using a suffix system that goes like this: xxxx-y where xxxx is the set number (not necessarily four numeric digits) and where y is a [re]issue number for the number of set (always numeric, (...) (27 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
