Cool, a new lsynth is finally grinding it's way through the release
process. If it helps, I have a small executable using Lars' portable
LDrawIni.c code (same as used by ldview?) that finds the ldrawdir and
prints it out on the command line. Maybe this could be adapted for
use by the installer to select a destination for the lsynth parts.
Also I have a compiler that should be able to build an lsynthcp.exe
that only links to msvcrt.dll so it works with all windows versions
with no annoying extra libs needed, just like all the utilities
Microsoft provides. (Now if only they'd make an easy wizard option in
their compilers to do that...) I'll have to kick my son off WOW for a
few minutes tonight to make sure it works on Vista, but everything
I've read says it should. I think the current lsynthcp.exe in the
setup file calls itself version 3.0 beta H, so it should be rebuilt
without the beta tag for a real release anyhow.
Enjoy,
Don
