(...) Not a bad idea, but tedious. (...) These two questions bring up a bigger question. What is this rumored LDraw II project and when will it be done?? I have asked this one many times and have gotten no answer. But some refer to it like the (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Thanks! (...) Actually, the only set I can think of in which it would is 7171. Does any other set have that large a hierarchy of submodels? (...) I don't think a four digit year is really necessary until LEGO is more than 100 years old. (...) (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) No. 'Name:' and 'FILE' are different. As soon as an MPD is split, all the FILE lines disappear, so you must leave in a 'Name:' Ex: 0 Title for the MPD 0 Name: filename.mpd 0 Author: Author 0 Comments 0 0 FILE file1.dat <---during MPD parsing, (...)

(...) All LDraw submodels that are not official sub-models can be inlined and then the separate parts moved around to keep the order of attaching pieces correct. Ideally, an instruction generator should be able to go through the main DAT file and (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Actually, LDraw and LEdit _do_ support directories. You just have to specify the directory in the DAT file. How do you think the s\ directory under parts\ works? Take a look at the last few lines of parts\3634.dat for example. (...) There is (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Why can't someone temporarily renamed a file to an 8.3 name while working on it in LEdit, but keep the names in a non-DOS format for storage and publishing? Or what if it were possible to use subdirectories? Then it could be 8.3 and not 8.3, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

We MUST keep it in 8+3 format because SOME PEOPLE still do use LEdit, and if you don't have the files in 8+3 format you can't use the files. I think that the way something like the Mos Espa set should be done is like this(I don't have the set so (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Bram, I think that's definitely on the right track! (At least with the double- and triple-letter combinations.) A great example of double-lettering is the 7171 Mos Espa Podrace™ set -- each of the three submodels of 7171 has itself three (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Is the 8.3 requirement a legacy thing left over from LDraw & LEdit being DOS applications? What programs in LDraw lore -don't- work on longer filenames? --Todd (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) What about things like this?-- (2 URLs) one was released in '81 and looks like it has 3 submodels. Second one was released in '98 and looks like it has 1 submodel.
