		Re: * LDView Version 2.1 Released * —Travis Cobbs
		(...) You're welcome. As an aside to other users that have feature ideas, I believe that Willy suggested/requested all of the above. I tend to be fairly arbitrary about which feature requests get implemented and which ones don't (I'm more likely to (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad)

		Re: * LDView Version 2.1 Released * —Travis Cobbs
		(...) I went and looked, and found a couple of things. On video cards with good OpenGL support, it only loads the model once, but it compiles the model twice. I'll have this fixed in the next version. (You can tell if you have one of these video (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad)
