What is the problem with case exactly on macLDGLite? The linux parts distribution has different case directory names and ldglite has a problem with that? Is it just the directory names that are trouble? LDRAW has the same notion of case as DOS, (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
