(...) I remember it being discussed, but I don't recall any agreement. The flaw I saw with this proposal is, is the file "973p4a.dat" an independent part all its own, or is it merely the first _sub_part of "973p4.dat"? The more I've been thinking (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Chris, In a message you sent to me some time ago, you had mentioned that the "range" of "p40" to "p50" was set aside for the patterns from "Castle". However, I just noticed that we've used all but one of these pattern numbers for the minifig torsos. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I think there might be a (minor) error in 973p34.dat. I noticed in my "sort by number" parts list that 973p34 was titled "Minifg Torso with Open Jacket over Striped Vest". ("Minifg" should be "Minifig".) I wasn't certain if this is unique to my PC. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Anyone else have this problem? I can't type in negative numbers into the center-offset boxes (X and Y offset) in LDLite (2.0b, I think -- the latest one on Paul Gyugyi's web site).
