Well I don't know that I thought it would be 'minimal' effort. I'll
bet it would be a lot of work for parts that are already done. I
did think that it wouldn't be that bad for new parts, because I
figured the author knows best what he/she want when he writes the
line in the part file. But as I'm not a parts author either, I
could very well be wrong there.
I aggree that we should make life easy for the parts authors. We
need as many parts as we can get ;) It's just my in my nature to
try to (as much as possible) compute things once and save the result
instead of computing the same thing over and over.
Did anyone look at the pseudo code I sent in one message?
See any errors in my logic??
