Steve, what is the part number on the white multifaceted hemisphere on the
Y-wing?

I am compiling some set piece inventories and wonder many things.
Steve Bliss pointed me to some lists of part names - thanks.
But I was also wondering about the format for such a list. Is it a matter • of
personal taste ? My preference is either comma or tab seperated lists.

I've been doing simple text-lists, on the assumption that (a)
comma-delimited is too hard to read, and (b) tab-delimited posts could end
up with the tabs being munged to spaces.  So I figured that fixed-width,
spaces-filled lists would be the most universal.

Having a more definitive delimiter would be good.  Does anyone know whether
my assumptions are valid or invalid?  Maybe I'll go do some tests.

Todd do you have a list of part names. The Auczilla names are the ones I'm • most
familiar with. I'm doing the lists with auczilla style and steve's names - • I'm
not sure about the LDraw nos.

I sucked LDraw's part list into an MS-Access database-file, and use it to
enter my inventories.  It just spits the list out, with part numbers where
possible.
