I continue to use ldglite, too, primarily for its indispensable "hoser"
function. Incidentally, I do have some trouble with 1.0.18 on my Intel Mac. The
display doesn't seem to "update" properly except briefly after being obscured by
a menu, etc. - otherwise it remains white. The same version works fine on my PPC
machine. I'll try to figure out if I can provide more specific information once
I'm done fiddling with LDView.
I like how Paul's axes include XYZ+- labels. That's clever.
