(...) Well, antialiasing is turned on in both renderers. However, the antialiasing definitely isn't the same in both. Maybe the LDView one is done with full-scene antialiasing and the LDGLite one is done with line antialiasing. It's interesting how (...) (19 years ago, 15-Oct-05, to lugnet.cad)

October 15, 2005 Not much work done the last two weeks. But at least I've added ldr support, and set .ldr extension as default in most cases. I've changed my mind again.
