hi kevin,

Yeah, I know, I'm not Kevin.  But he's working on lsynth now, so it'd
be nice if he stuck with it.

I'd like to have it both ways. I provide x,y,z and get
lat,long+distance from origin (and yes, the center of the globe is
at the LDraw origin) and vice versa.  I need this to render
backgrounds in bryce using the same camera position I set in
LPub. I'd like to have something like paul's LCad-Calculator - say
stand-alone, no java, runtimes and the like (I love "edger" but I
regret the day I installed that java-thing messing up my disk)

Ok, I see your point about java, but how about javascript?

All you need is a browser, and if you want it stand-alone you just need
to do a "save as".  Then you can click on it in explorer, or on your
desktop, start menu, or whatever to run the browser on the local copy.

Enjoy, (or not)

Don
