Doh!  Can't ya tell I'm not a Castle fan? :-)  I think I used a gray shield

What are you asking me for?  You did the rendering.  It's part 3846p43.
It's one of those special patterned parts, where main color specifies
the *pattern* color, not the base part's color.  In this case, it's the
border color.  If it rendered gray, chances are you set the color to 7.

My mistake.  I totally forgot about that when I made the rendering.  I chose
the shiled color as gray, because all shields are gray, I forgot it was
hard-coded.

And I gotta get rid of the Red Futuron's yellow hands too ;-)

IMO there's not enough critical mass to support them.  Not closed to the
idea, I just don't want to put the effort into putting something
up/maintaining something that not many people will use.

So what?  If someone wants to contribute a GUI editor that runs on X
Windows from a Solaris server, we should support it on the site.

Of course.  To my knowledge though, there isn't one now.

If there's nothing there now, it's a good place to put an plea for more
tools.

If Dan (Crichton), the Download editor, wants to go ahead and make
placeholders for these, I have no objection.

I won't spend much of my own site time maintaining it though, unless there's
a sudden surge of users from that OS.  There are many other things to do for
current users on more popular operating systems, I'd rather enrich their
experience than make sure everyone is covered, regardless of the
distribution of users between OSes.
