The woodpecker lives on, now called wood4.dat and available from the
ldlite page. I had to change the model, since I changed the color
names in 1.6.

You're using -t and -p at the same time? Oh, you wackey users! :)

Oops. Sorry about that. At least "ldlite" should always be in the
title bar now.

In version 1.6, if you pass a command line filename that is not
is not an absolute path or in the current directory, the MFC
underpinnings to LDLite cannot find the file. LDLite eventually
finds the file in the standard search path, but by that time the
filename is not in the title bar and does not appear on the recent
files menu list. Work-around: always use the absolute path name.
LDAO launching works on my machine, here's the section from
ldraw.ini:
[Ldlite_1.6]
Internal=False
RequiresFile=True
RunInBAT=False
NeedsShortName=True
MenuCaption=L&dlite_1.6
ButtonCaption=L&dlite_1.6
ToolText=Render model with Ldlite version 1.6
CommandLine=%base%\ldlite\ldlite_1_6.exe %model% %parm%
WorkingDirectory=%base%
Related bugs: MPD files sometimes end up with 'Untitled', and
sometimes if you change the "Options" settings you end up
with 'Untitled'. I'll try and squash these.
