(...) "Program"? I wish. It was a manual conversion, not all of the entries are amenable to programmatic conversion. (...) Doh! It should be fixed now, take a look. No wonder the orange switch on the PF box looked so odd... Steve (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I could probably whip up a program that does the conversion fairly quickly (hour or two of work?) if you're interested. I have the advantage that I already have a full parser for ldconfig.ldr. Spitting out the ldliterc.dat file should be (...) (17 years ago, 2-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, to be perfectly honest, while I'm pretty confident that LDView can be gotten to work relatively easily (via xvfb) on the LDraw server, I'm not sure whether its performance will be "acceptable". So I think it's only fair to keep the (...) (17 years ago, 3-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad)
