You got it, Dan, stand by! I don't have bag numbers (I doubt many do) so I'll
leave that blank... I've been putting descriptions of printing into the notes
field (if the printed part isn't already LDrawn), is that OK? What's the file

do with them, and am very glad to get them published in a useful way.
Cheers, Heather
