Why is it when I try to open L3P.exe it just appears for a brief second and
then turns off? Does it have anything to do with Windows 2000? BTW I use L3Lab
to generate my POV files, is there any way to incorporate L3PAO to use L3Lab to
generate the POV file? Any help would be appreciated.

BTW I am inexperienced with DOS programs.

(...) to (...) should be no problem with the command line stuff. The only thing I can think of is that the set LDRAWDIR=(wherever ldraw is located) doesn't work. I put it in the autoexec, but still, l3p just shows the "help" message, or the commands (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)
