People?  You mean person.  I think the only real reason for creating that
file in the first place was to hush my whining about boring colors.

I got a nice laugh from the delicious irony of stealthily replacing
the shiny candy colors with the most boring of all:  black and grey.
Hah!  Good one!  Consider me officially "encouraged".  I don't think
it'll work though.  I never managed to use that file anyhow.  The name
kept changing, the file occasionally "disappeared" from ldraw.org,
and the colors were never quite bright enough for my taste.  I say
just disappear the file one last time and call it a day.

Have fun,

Don

(...) I seem to remember that part of the reason to have LDCfgalt.ldr was for people who prefer the colored edge lines. Actually, it seems like that was a big part of the reason to have the file. So why drop that functionality? Steve (17 years ago, 29-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)
