(...) I am fairly sure none of the printed tiles had the fingernail grooves. The grooves have been there for a long time; probably over 20 years old I would say. I think that the use of printing on tiles is significantly more recent. I have a few (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Below is the list of part files which could potentially be affected by this change. So far, we've only got grooved versions of the 1x1, 1x2, 1x2 grille, and 1x4 tile part files. At least the 2x2 and 2x2 round tiles could also be regrooved, and (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)

[FUT lugnet.cad.dev] Do any of you oldtimers remember exactly when the bases of the various tile parts changed, to have the groove/indent around the edge?

(...) Well yes, but I wasn't just thinking about POV. I thought that was your point in changing the syntax.

(...) In general, that's an interesting thought. But in this case, I don't think it's necessary - POV already has an include statement (IIRC). Of course, allowing the use of such a statement raises another issue: is it alright to distribute (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
