Are you sure you have got ALL updates installed properly?
My L2P_ELMT.TAB is from 31-12-99 and the latest part is
lg_3873.inc from 23-09-99.
BTW, you can use the -d option to L3P to see the contents of LGEO's
*.TAB files: "l3p -d -lgeo somefile.dat | more"

Yes, Lutz forgot the lg_4588_clear in that file...

L3P already has one exception: it adds a missing texture
"texture {lg_black}" to pattern lp_0008.inc used in lg_3626p01,
the Minifig Head with Standard Grin Pattern :-)
But, that's not the way to go...

No, Lutz Uhlmann should be alerted and fix his files. Otherwise also L2P
would suffer from the same mistakes...
I also have a list of errors:
lg_0711.inc: "#declare lg_0709_clear" should be "#declare lg_0711_clear"
lg_6081.inc lacks lg_6081_clear
wrong offset in z lg_6832.inc Windscreen 4 x 4 x 1
lp_0008.inc: missing "texture {lg_black}"
lg_cyan, lg_tan, lg_orange, lg_clear_brown, lg_clear_neon_orange are
missing in L2P_COLR.TAB
Lutz should also consider making a new version of L2P_ELMT.TAB,
preferably in text rather than binary.
The current format is inadequate for a conversion table between
DAT filenames and LGEO filenames: He only uses an integer for the
DAT file number (again, try: "l3p -d -lgeo somefile.dat"), which cannot
handle all our letter suffixes properly.
But I've already suggested that to him long ago...

Thanks.

Huh. I downloaded the complete set, but my L2P_ELMT.TAB is from 25-1-1999.
The other timestamp is off too.
I figured this could be an old LGEO install, but I tried again on a fresh
machine and I still have the older files.
Exactly which file did you download to get the latest stuff? I'm getting
mine from http://www.el-lutzo.de/lego/zips/lgeo.zip as linked from
http://www.el-lutzo.de/lego/lgeo.html

Yeah, Lutz does write:
"Download the Lgeo POV-Ray Library (548kB) containing 636 parts
from all updates including #14. New users should get this.
If you already have all stuff until including update#13,
just get the update #14 below."
But if you scroll a page down you'll find Update #15 (138kb) :-)
