Steven, My bad. 880A.DAT is an LSynth part that I failed to add to the setup list. You can make one of your own by copying 880.DAT to 880A.DAT. Edit 880A.DAT and remove the electric cord stub. I'll add it tto the distribution. Thanks, Kevin (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst, lugnet.cad.dev)

OK got some stuff figured out... Color 295 looks close to Sand Green, its on the second page of colors after 256, top row last color. Sand green ~= gray + green ==> 7 + 2*16 + 256 = 295. See .dat and .pov examples below. Notice that the color table (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)
