Hi
No I have not tried LeoCAM, but this is good news. This means that it is
probably a sensible and good idea if more than one person comes up with it
separately. (Light bulbs anyone?) Sins it seems that you are closer to
getting it to work than I am I suppose I could adopt your format. Could you
post a link to some documentation for me? I chose not to use XML because I
wanted it to look like the existing LDraw format. GLIDE will not be out in a
new version for some time... I wanted to get this whole clicking thing
working first.
The current version of GLIDE can be found at
http://users.aber.ac.uk/dtb9/glide_web/
I look forward to hearing more from you.
