There's an old saying:

Looks great! I just downloaded it and it's running now (sort of). It can
see my models directory and shows me a list of actual files, which is cool.
The weird thing is, when I click the "Run L3P" button, nothing happens --
no beep, no dialog box, no changes written anywhere on the disk.
A couple other weird things -- when I asked it to save a scene, I gave it
a full path, but it put the .L3A file in the root directory. When I ask it
to display the L3P help file, it invokes notepad looking for \L3P.txt.
My LDRAW environment variable is set like this: LDRAWDIR=C:\LDRAW
Let me check my LDRAW.INI file. Hmm... L3PPath=\ and POVPath=\, that
doesn't sound right. OK, I'm fixing L3PPath=c:\ldraw\ and POVPath=
c:\program files\pov-ray\ . Now when I click "Run L3P", it runs, but then
it (L3P) errors out and says "*** Too many filenames."
Maybe L3PAO is passing the POVPath to L3P on the command line without
surrounding it in double-quotes? Let's test that theory. Aha--bingo --
I just copied my POV-Ray directory from where it really is to a path
C:\foopov containing no space characters, and now it creates the .pov file.
Well anyway, thanks for pointing me to L3PAO -- I look forward to using it
soon! (I just need to find more spare time for this sort of thing first. :)
