(...) in addition.. something that I've been curious about.. why are the names (descriptions) in this format?: [type] <space> # <space> x <space> <space> # why the second space after the times sign? I've removed it from some of my updated parts, (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) You realize you answered your own question? The spacing was inherited from James Jessiman, but it works better to have it there. If some programs/people don't want the spaces, it's easy enough to delete them. It would be more challenging to (...) (24 years ago, 18-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
