I know my efforts may seem like heresy to a number of AFOL's, and I

pieces included here are ABSOLUTELY UNOFFICIAL, and should NOT UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES be perceived as part of the LCad Canon.  My intent
is not to cheapen the worth of LCad, but rather to offer a few
overlooked pieces that fans of the "clone" brands might like to see.
After all, in the virtual environment, all discussions of varying
ABS quality between Lego and Clones become irrelevant...

Good disclaimer.

  Thanks!  That's just part of the TXT file in the clone.dat zip package.  In
addition, each individual DAT-file starts with this header:

0 MegaBloks Brick  1 x  2 with notch and 6 slots
0 Name: c010102b.dat
0 Author: Dave Schuler!
0 VERY Unofficial LCad contribution
0 (not in ANY WAY a part of the LEGO Canon!)
0 1999-11-6

The first two lines, and the date of course, vary from piece to piece, but
this way I hope that every piece will be immediately discernible as an
unofficial part.

     Dave!
