Anyone have any tips for raytracing a black MOC with radiosity? I'd like some piece definition like this: (URL) What's the secret, Jeroen? Thanks, --Bram (20 years ago, 7-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad.ray, FTX)

(...) You are right, but the error handling problem is larget than just blanks in file names. All of this boils down to the wimpy method that LPub uses to parse LDraw files. If you type in a meta-command “0 LPUB PIL”, rather than “0 LPUB PLI”, lpub (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)

(...) You might want to take a look at 2593.dat (including the author ;-). (In your defense, that's a really old file.)
