Thanks for that Kevin. Could you turn piece packing off and use bounding box
packing for the PACK SUBS (does it have an underscore? my documentation doesn't
seem to say so) routine perhaps? Or have an option to use the old packing
routines or the new ones as a temporary measure?

I'm so stupid. I should have noted that the double ldraw is correct on my
system. But you are right, this is an old problem. I hadn't mentioned it before
as it didn't seem to make anything break and I thought it may have something to
do with my permissions setting anyway.
Thanks for all that,
Tim
PS. I just googled LDiff and discovered that there is software which finds the
difference between Latex files called Ldiff (which some of us scientists and
other geeks here may use - it will almost certianly be installed by default on
many *nix systems). Perhaps LdrDiff wuld be a better name.
