Not at this time. It has been requested but nothing more has been done.

One thing I've done (assuming you're on Windows) is change the search options for Windows to look into the contents of the blk and mtf files. So I can go into data folder and search for say XXL and it will show all the units who, in theory, have XXL engines.

hey, that's pretty cool. thanks. i'm also interested in designs' years so i'm having to do a lot of boolean searches, but it's certainly less time consuming and more accurate than manually making tally marks  ;D
