ACK!
I'm 90% certain the problem is due to an LDLite bug.
LDLite 1.5 was supposed to use the ldraw.ini file
for pathnames, but mistakenly still uses the LDRAWDIR
environment variable in two cases: the load of the file
specified on the command line, and the saving of bitmap
files. Since most people in this group have both
ldraw.ini and LDRAWDIR set, the appearance of the bug
has been somewhat random, mostly when people reinstall
everything.
LDLite 1.6 fixes this, and should be up on my web site in
a day or two. I was going to release it yesterday, but
a beta site had trouble with missing/incompatible DLLs,
so it looks like I need to statically link in MFC,
which will up the file size from 150kB to 450kB :(.

| Well, it's to bad that LDLite has this bug, but I'm not really upset. Actually, I'm just glad to know it's not something silly (read stupid) that I was or wasn't doing. I'll look forward to version 1.6. 8) Ben (...) fine, (...) generate (...) an (...) (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)
