***************************************************************************

Ahui, compiling and maintaining the LDraw All-In-One-Installer would like to see
the following programs in the upcoming CA-complaint installer:

L3P
L3PAO
LDView
LPub
LSynth
MLCad
BMP 2 LDraw
L3Lab
LDAdd On
LGEO Parts Library
Sticker Generator for LDraw/MLCAD - http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=14654

As a note I'd like to add that most code-gods have already agreed to a similar
permission in the past. The SteerCo's concern is that the permissions have been
sent to Ahui's personal mailbox and do not have a common wording. Furthermore we
ask you to reply to this post once you have sent your agreement to keep track
what is still missing.

If you program is not on the list please sent in your agreement anyway
especially if your program is addressed to hard boiled part authors: There is a
good chance that we will compile a All-In-One-Installer-For-Part-Authors once
the CA-AIOI has been shipped.

LDView has always included code written by friends of mine from college, (...) (17 years ago, 6-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) I'll take this back to the SteerCo and see if we can come up with something working better. Sorry for the mess. w. (17 years ago, 8-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
