| | | (...) I thought that much, but as you say, it could be nice:) Now the to the colors of this part, there's three of them, how to handle that? I've thought of making the yellow parts color 16 (I believe I've seen blue versions of this part), and (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
