Hmm. Interesting idea.
So part 3937 <http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3937> might have an entry
like:
0 ASSOCIATE 3938 6134
and part 3938 <http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3938> might have:
0 ASSOCIATE 3937 2440
(of course, these examples capture information that otherwise might be
captured by a connectivity db).
This sounds promising. What do other people think?
