People, I've noticed a minor problem with the current way
of naming/titling "petterned" parts.

Here's a brief excerpt from PARTS.LST
(sorted by Description):

3070.DAT      Tile  1 x  1

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, which caused them to be out of order, so I put it back.. but why
is it there at all.. looks sloppy in parts reports, etc.

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 write code to put extra spaces into the
appropriate positions, if they weren't there.

So we've got the spaces.
