Here's some brief news about the Parts Tracker. First, everything seems to be running smoothly. At least, as smoothly as it was before the website redesign. There are some fixes needed at the top of some pages, and I still need to figure out where (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Now that ldraw.org has a user-based rating system for software downloads, I think it would be a great idea if everyone here went and rated the programs they have tried out.
