I tried to write a viewer once too (as a series of experimentation of maybe
having done a CAD program for parts authors!) using Tcl and OpenGL, but it
turned out to be *REALLY* slow, most probably due to bad subfile handling. While
the Animal Frog piece was not *so* bad, 3002.dat was incredibly slow and the PF
M-Motor threw an overflow error. So much for that. :)
Akin to Mike's hopes, an LDraw viewer library for tcl3d (=OpenGL bindings for
Tcl) would indeed work for me...
