It works quite well, it's just the compound viewing angles make it look
weird.

Is there any reliable way for LDAO to determine if LDLite is finished
rendering?
[Snipped stuff about LDLite displaying 'Untitled' in the window caption,
and setting up LDAO so it launches LDLite to avoid it.]
I've really got to modify LDAO so it does most of all of that setup
automatically.

Terry called it. You can see what we're talking about at
<http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Lagoon/8641/br/>
The main view of the ship rendered in ~300 seconds. The wire frame took
250 seconds. This was at 40% scale, so it's not really a fair
comparision -- even in wire-frame mode, most of the pixels are filled
in.
One suggestion for wire frame mode, if you want to get fancy. Draw the
wires in the regular colors, not the complement/edge colors.
