Ok, its probably because I'm a dos dummy. I'm sure this is a simple
answer, but I'd really appreciate help. Using win98, I got Ledit/Ldraw
going fine, got l3p, edited my autoexec.bat with set LDRAWDIR =D:Ldraw,
and now I'm stumped. I've been putting all the programs on my d: drive.
How do I get l3p to convert to pov? I openend the dos prompt, went to
the l3p directory, typed l3p filename.dat (I didn't actually type
filename :) )and ain't nothing happend but I got the l3p commands. What
am I doing wrong here? And where will the pov file be found once I do
it right?
Thanks for the help,
Patricia Schempp

| Where did you put l3p? I think the instructions said to place it in a directory which is in your PATH statement, like c:\windows. Then l3p will run from anywhere, and the POV files (at least by default) end up in the directory you are running it (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Is the entry in autoexec.bat like: set LDRAWDIR =D:\Ldraw or is it set LDRAWDIR=D:\Ldraw ? It should be more like the second entry. In particular, avoid spaces around the equal sign, and be sure there's a backslash after the D:. (...) Did you (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad)

| Thank you to everyone who is helping me! It makes me happy that people are willing to do this. :) Hmm.... The problem may be that when I go into dos and type edit c:\autoexec.bat I get an empty file in the editor. My computer shows it, and explorer (...) (25 years ago, 9-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad)
