If you have access to a *nix machine, or have installed the appropriate cygwin
components on a Windows box, the following script should take a bunch of step
files spit out from MLCad and insert the appropriate PREL3P commands in.
#! /bin/sh
prevfile=''
for thisfile in $*; do
if [ "$prevfile" = "" ]; then
echo 0 !PREL3P -ldconfig normal.ldr > faded.$thisfile
cat $thisfile >> faded.$thisfile
else
echo 0 !PREL3P +codes none > faded.$thisfile
echo 0 !PREL3P -ldconfig faded.ldr >> faded.$thisfile
cat $prevfile >> faded.$thisfile
echo 0 !PREL3P -ldconfig normal.ldr >> faded.$thisfile
diff $prevfile $thisfile | egrep ^\> | cut -c3- >> faded.$thisfile
fi
prevfile=$thisfile
done

Example usage:
./fadesteps.sh CAR*.ldr
Given the two CAR ldr files in Jaco’s message, here is the output for step 2
(saved in a file named faded.CAR_00002.ldr):
0 !PREL3P +codes none
0 !PREL3P -ldconfig faded.ldr

Note that the script assumes that the files will be fed to it in step order. On
a *nix machine (and under cygwin as well, I assume), alphabetical order will be
used if you say *.ldr, so that makes usage easy. It also assumes that each step
file is an exact superset of the previous step file. This is true of the two
sample files Jaco posted.
The script is quick and dirty, so you’ll want to modify the lines that insert
the PREL3P meta-commands to use the ldr filenames of your own custom LDConfig
files if you choose to use filenames other than faded.ldr and normal.ldr for
those.

| (...) Correct. Technically, the prel3p commands affect color substitution on following lines, so you'll need to insert code in two places: once at the beginning of the model to use the "faded" colors, and again at whatever point you wish to restore (...) (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
