(...) Good observations. A program optimized for K'Nex and a K'Nex parts library would benefit the fans of K'Nex, but again, LDraw should focus on Lego brand products. If the ldraw.org /non-lego/ section *is* added, how much exposure should such a (...) (25 years ago, 25-Nov-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
