Interesting enough Rick Lair seem to be using it wrong AFAICT. They seem to use the T10000n as the wear offsets.... Anyways this seems to clear things up from the standards angle. Thanks. This leaves me with a couple problems that I am sure I can fix. As the patch was originally there is a problem if you call T1 and there is no entry for wear in the T1 position. I'm pretty sure this should be legal to call and it was easy to fix. The other problem is, as the patch is now if you call T101 it asks for tool 10001, where it should ask for tool 1. I'm sure I can fix that too. Then I will post the patch for review.
