It turns this:
http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/bhpatey/lego/6035_inv.txt

into this:
http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/bhpatey/lego/6035_vis.htm

for text files, HTML inv's from Peeron, or piece lists from ML-CAD.  It lets
you verify you have the LDRAW number right (for LDrawn pieces, anyway).

You bet, will do.  I assume in bunches would be better than individuals but any
better than none!
