inventories and add LDRAW numbers to them, we'd be booming for sure.

yah, it's something that should be doable, and Steve already has a
translation table, that's how he links from partsref to the Vattima
inventories.  One day, when I have time, I'll do the same :)

Cool.  Post if you need a hand.

This is probably a good time to throw into the ring another tool I've made
up to verify
inventories using Excel - a way to make an HTML document with a picture of
each piece in an inventory, in the correct colour.

http://www3.nf.sympatico.ca/bhpatey/lego/visinv.htm

I'll take a look at that when I'm at a windows box - could you say until
then what it does?

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).

Lastly (what? post things separately? never!) what is the most efficient way
of sending Peeron corrections, either renaming/renumbering a piece
throughout or adding/deleting to one inventory?

well, either post it here (both Jennifer and I read this group) or send mail
to inv@peeron.com - that goes to both Jennifer and I :)

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

Cheers, Heather
