In this book, we provide a overview of the Ldraw system, and a suite of free Lego CAD software (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.books) ! 
 
  Re: L3P v1.3 for Mac OSX
 
(...) I wonder if this could be solved with something as simple as doing an fopen() with "wt" instead of just "w"? And... And... I just can't help myself here, sorry Lars... If the code were available you might get better, more helpful or accurate (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: L3P v1.3 for Mac OSX
 
(...) Well, I don't really know. As I said, James said to do this at the command line /Developer/Tools/SetFile -c "POV3" -t "TEXT" /Users/yourname/yourfile.pov and after doing that, the POV-Ray programs processed the files normally. I don't know why (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

  Re: L3P v1.3 for Mac OSX
 
(...) How does it behave badly? Does it fail to read some lines? L3P uses fgets and then removes trailing \n and \r, but perhaps this fails on "old" mac files, which I believe use the CR ending. On MacOSX, \n is mapped to LF, so how do you read CR (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

  Re: L3P v1.3 for Mac OSX
 
(...) Erik, How did you render the POV files produced by l3p. Neither POV-Ray 3.1 (Classic) nor POV-Ray 3.5 (OS X) liked the file that l3p produced. When I dropped the file onto the applications incons in the Dock, the applications just ignored the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

  Re: L3P v1.3 for Mac OSX
 
Lars, I used L3P this weekend. Since this is my first time using it, I tested only very simple uses. No problems found, unless you consider it a bug that it behaves badly with CR line endings. It's hard to tell which input file it is complaining (...) (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

  MLCad change request
 
Hi Michael, Could you add a mechanism to let users enter meta-commands not supported by MLCAD? It could be just like the comment dialog, except that it does not add the WRITE keyword to the front. Kevin (22 years ago, 4-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
