[XPFUT lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw] (...) A little more has happened on this: I emailed the authors of most of the LDraw-compatible software packages, and asked for buy-in on this idea.

(...) ... (...) ... I'm working on a Track Designer-like program; I'll be presenting it at BrickFest.

(...) Not exactly, although kind of. The idea is this might become several things. Not in any particular order: - This can lead to a standard color-definition (meta-)statement for LDraw. Since LEGO seems to be releasing more and more colors, it (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) As you pointed out, dithering is a historical artifact with LDraw. As I don't see it doing any harm, I'd rather leave it in for now, even if it is generally unused. Call me misguidedly sentimental. ;) (...) As to the order and format, I was (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
