Hi, I'm happy to announce that lsynthcp, a synthesizer of bendable LEGO/LDraw parts, is now a project on sourceforge. This allows all who are able and motiviated to join in future development of lsynthcp. lsynthcp is an text based ANSI C program, (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.announce)

Kevin, Excellent idea. Using SourceForge will hopefully garner you some additional support and programming resources to allow you to further LSynth's development. When will LPub be moving to SourceForge? As an aside, I have been reviewing your new (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Steven, Hopefully the sourceforge effort will also get some folks that can help me with the mathematical ins and outs of the effort. I contacted Michael about lsynthcp support in MLCAD, but he was already wrapping up the 3.0 release. I'm hoping that (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

<snip> (...) Thanks Steven. Comments like this are highly motivating. When I started writing LPub, I'd only just heard of L3P, although I new of POV-Ray from way back. It has been quite a learning experience. (...) I learned a lot about L3P writing (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) One last question; I am curious as to why you didn't include LP3AO as a "Power Tool?" This is another one of those no-brainers (creating a GUI for a command line program). Was it due to the timeline of your text? Steven (21 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't know about the math, but I do have a few thoughts after a quick peek at the sources. So how should we go about making changes? Discuss them here first, or just put them in CVS with an appropriate comment if we think they won't break (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yeah, I thought so. Other options are copying the line before the strupper(), or using strnicmp() or strncasecmp() for the keyword test. The copy method is easier to do in a portable way. (...) I like the named parameters. That makes it easy (...) (21 years ago, 20-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Whoah, wait a minute! I like getopt() as much as anyone, but I thought we were talking about something to go *inside* the file on the SYNTH BEGIN line(s), not necessarily on the command line.

Steven, I debated with myself about adding L3PAO, because it certainly has had a positive effect for people who don't like command lines (and even for some of those that do). LPub has all the capabilities of L3PAO plus a *lot* more, so I felt like (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
