(...) Okey-dokely. I'll put empty entries for the ones I don't have yet. They'll be unanswered for the time being, but this will ensure that the filenames are held. Heh, and I was working so hard to get the number of unanswered items *down*! ;-) (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

Todd: (...) Yes. I think Jeremy's suggestion (".../entry_file_name") is a reasonable solution for this. (...) Each question will appear as a separate file on ldraw.org (the LDraw FAQ is more than 40 kb _text_ at the moment). (...) Five in the 32 (...) (25 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.faq)
