(...) I think Curiously should be replaced with "Distressingly" or something similar. The official MPD tutorial on ldraw.org is telling people to do something that completely violates the MPD spec. If you follow those instructions, you'll end up (...) (17 years ago, 21-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Curiously enough, the tutorial cited ((URL)) recommends making the first submodel an empty model in order to "help in speeding up the upload time" for large models. I think it's interesting that MPD is still often presented as an extension to (...) (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

(...) Tim, I agree. At the time the article was written, MPD was a way of packing files for easy shipping. These days it is the preffered way of working with any model that has at least one sub-model. Starting and ending as MPD is much better than (...)

(...) Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look. I'll have to do some testing with zziplib to see if it will work with the ldraw.org zip files.
