(...) I've posted a Mac "Service" version, too. You put it in ~/Library/Services/, and then you can process any selected LDraw text by selecting "PreL3P" from the Services submenu of the current application menu. I haven't tested it much.

PreL3P 1.4 can process multiple files. It understands wildcard characters, too, so you can easily process many files at once in environments that don't perform wildcard expansion automatically (ie, "prel3p *.ldr"). (URL) always, please report any (...) (19 years ago, 5-Nov-07, to lugnet.cad)
