(...) If you want, I can send you an alpha-quality Intel Mac binary of LDView 3.2, which can render the files (even from the command line), but I don't think it will be any easier to use than ldglite if you get ldglite to work.

Hi all, Since I installed a new videocard (NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X) I seem to be unable to run LDView. Why is that? My previous NVIDIA GeForce2 card did not give any problems. Can this be resolved? Thanks. Jaco (18 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev)
