That sounds like a really wise idea...and positively A/R, which is a Good
Thing too. :-)
And not only that (but related), there probably is a good reason to have an
extras.dat file to codify the extra elements that come with a set (things
like extra 1x1 round plates, extra visors, extra skeleton arms, etc. -- all
of these are pre-planned by TLG (except extra cloth capes and extra
stickers, which are production accidents)).
BTW, it's asking for trouble to allow filenames beginning with /, because a
filename beginning with / means "start at the root directory." Leaving off
the initial / means that the filename is relative to the current working
directory, which is typically the c:\ldraw\models directory.
Use of a leading / is a potentially dangerous security risk because someone
could make an MPD containing, say:
0 FILE /windows/win.ini
0 ha ha ha ha
and guess what that would do to someone's system if the splitter didn't
check the input carefully!
