I looked in the primitves directory and saw that some of the files in the 48
directory had the same filename as those in the P directory.  How does
Ldraw/Mlcad differentiate between these files?

If 3001.box is renamed to 3001.dat, and I place it in the /primitives/boxes
directory, will this screw Mlcad?  Currently, I've added the "X x X Box"
description, so that they will be categorized properly by description if the
*.dat extension is added.  I was thinking more in the line of renaming files
and adding the *.dat extension, but was at a loss for a way of renaming them
with out taking up needed filename space.  What if someone builds a part and
needs a name that I've already designated as a certain box type?  I don't
want there to be that type of a conflict.

Tore: (...) Except that the extensions "box" and "min" don't seem to correspond to the two concepts, it might be a good idea to identify the simplification level based in the file name extension. But since the file format is (I assume) still the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
