Why not just an errors.dat file with lots of 0 comment lines?  What would • LDLite do with a .txt file if it found it in an .mpd file?
Maybe it doesn't care what extension is used on the file, but maybe it does?

I like this idea beter.  LDAO and LDLite would pick it up and display it so
people can read it if it was an errors.dat instead of errors.txt.

Is there a reason to put all the errors in one place, instead of putting a
comment (or a 0 WRITE) before the plain-in-place-of-patterned line?

But extras.dat is still needed.

And what about part mock-ups for which there is no known part number?  How
would those be referenced?
