So do I. But I probably wouldn't subscribe to a sets or omr newsgroup by
mail. It would work, but why not avoid possible confusion and go for 100%
certainty on a completely new dedicated newsgroup? Some people might think
that cad.dat.models.sets is a dedicated OMR group if anything is appended
to the charter. A new group would provide a border between casually
posting LDrawn sets and submitting a polished work to an online repository.

Just go to download.com and search for it, its downloadable from
there. I'd search for it for you, but I'm just too lazy right now. ;)

Wow, you're good. At losing people I mean :) No, I meant zip, since you
said you would prefer MPD. I'm not adding another file type, these should
be made available through MPD, zip, and tarball. That's it.
...on the tarball, do people actually use that for Windows/dos? Because
LDraw itself is a DOS program and most of the support programs are for
DOS/Windows, do we really need to package it for a Unix machine? At least
I strongly recall tarball being of Unix origin....slap me upside the head
if wrong :)

I wasn't thinking in ranges of thousands, but having each placeholder
signify a different thing. The first placeholder could signify theme,
second subtheme (0 if not applicable), third and fourth year of set?? And
then we could do letters after that or something. So:
st2592a could be a Space (2), Ice Planet (5), 1992 (92), something
sticker. But Ice Planet never had stickers...did it? Oh well, its just an
example.
...Ice Planet was 92, wasn't it?
