But wait.  The reason given for looking in LDRAWDIR is for a central
networked LDRAW installation at a school.  It'd be nice to have a
default ldraw.ini file at the central location that can be overridden
by one in a users home directory.

Oh yeah.  One other thing about an ldraw.ini located on a central server.
I'd prefer to leave the client OS up to the user.  This reinforces my case
for the <LDRAWDIR>parts path format without the nasty OS specific slash
character.

Enjoy,

Don

It's no problem handling the \ or /'s.
We do that all the time already in our parts referencing e.g. S\3039S01.DAT,
we do manage to find the subpart on unix too :-)

My library reads env vars and ini files in any format
and converts it to the format used on the platform it is running.
