Yes indeed. Differencing the buildings won't do anything. Which reminds
me that the buildings here remind me of the City7 macros by Mike
Williams. I wonder where those originated from. I looked but could not
find their origin any more; not from Mike's site at least. I have them
in my own system but others might be interested.
