Bad news:

According to Bas Oskamp <aldjia@freeler.nl> the LDraw parts
distribution file, "complete.exe", may contain a virus.

I have temporarily made the file unavailable on the ldraw.org
web site. Meanwhile the parts distribution is available as a
ZIP archive:

  http://www.ldraw.org/download/updates/complete.zip

Here is a cut from the report Bas sent me:

*** Mogelijk virus gevonden ***
*** C:\COMPLETE.EXE -> HLLW.Arjself.5288.Worm (LzExe)

I haven't got access to a DOS or Windows system, so I am
unable to verify the report (or explain why it is wrong).
