Thanks!

Actually, the only set I can think of in which it would is 7171. Does
any other set have that large a hierarchy of submodels?

I don't think a four digit year is really necessary until LEGO is more
than 100 years old.

I agree, especially because some alt. models do have instructions.

It works in DAT files (with \, not /), and it'd be great if it worked in
MPD, but I don't know if it does. We should probably test how it works
in LDraw\LEdit, ie, where does it look for the directory.

Your example looks great to me, especially for people who will want every
LEGO set ever built in DAT format.
