What about just having "30086.dat" and "30087.dat" in colour
16 as the official parts, and then let people insert the two
parts themselves.

- the parts will always be listed next to each other.
- the parts will always need the same location and
  orientation (hopefully).

So it shouldn't be much more work to insert the two molds
instead of the collected part.

For now, that would be a good solution. Of course, Steve would need to split
the pieces first.

I'll look into it.  The main problems are (1) I'm not sure it can be
done without rewriting the existing code, which I don't *really* feel
like doing.  And (2) I'm not planning on cutting a dinghy open to see
what the inside looks like.  So any interior detail would be a guess.

1. Understood.
2. That's a given.  I don't really expect to see detail.  It is not something
that would be a requirement, IMO.

BTW, there was a report of a pink dinghy in Belville?  Do we have the
long-part-number for that one?  Is it similar to the yellow-specific
part number?

No idea.  It was news to me.  Joshua might know something about it, but he
never mentioned that one to me.

When are you cutting the 99-02 update file?  What's my deadlline for
getting a set of cut-up dinghy files to you?

I haven't yet starting tallying the vote files, and there are some other
numbering problems that really need to be addressed first as well.
So it will be a while.
I don't know how many people are eagerly waiting for that dinghy though, so if
it did miss the update, it would probably not be the end of the world.  :-)
Now the canoe is a different matter.......
