Okay, I D/L'd l2p, did what the web page says to do. D/L'd POV-Ray 3.1, opened the pov file that l2p created. Try to render it. Wathc POV-Ray spit out long masses of error codes. What in the world am I doing wrong? Should I just rip my hair out now (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

First of all, I love your MOC. In fact, it inspired me to download and learn LEdit, LDraw, etc. I have some rookie questions. Is this a MPD file? Whenever I try to download any DAT from here, it wants to be named ldraw.cgi. What should it be? I'm (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
