| | | I'm trying to download MPD Builder but Jacob's site seems to be unreachable. How could I get it? Actually, my problem is building an MPD file including all unofficial parts, subparts, primitives... I made that previously using MLCad, but chasing all (...) (20 years ago, 7-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad)

You are right, both options make sense, an option would be nice, perhaps with a third, per-file question as suggested Larry (the first two possibilities have the advantage of unattended operation!).

In other words, if a file isn't found then prompt the user if the user doesn't know then put an in log file but also have the option for the user choose to have all unfound file to simply be (...)
