(...) Jonathan G: Take the above advice with a very large grain of salt. :-) Asking for parts to be made isn't actually a bad idea, inherently speaking.

oops. sorry if I insulted anyone. I intended no harm by that post. (i'm very new to this newsgroup, and i haven't yet found out what is looked down upon) uh, actually, if I could, *I* would like to try at modeling some of the parts on that list! I (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

One other thing. In future, you should know that asking for parts to be made is not a good idea and most of the people here frown uopn it, especially for such a large list (I should know, I have had it happen to me numerous times) -- Jonathan Wilson (...)

I, an avid lego user in earlier years, was amazed to see the amount of progress and programs, particularly ldraw, that were created for lego use on computers. However, I couldn't help but notice that several of ldraw's parts are missing, and as the (...) (25 years ago, 27-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

GOTO was very easy to program. :o) A little more seriously now: I think it belongs to the BASIC-like syntax I have chosen. Especially in IF statements. Anyway, noone is forced to [ab]use it. I don't think WHILE-WEND will be too hard to code, and it (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)
