Hy, today I found a problem in 3040p32.dat line 4 which contains a statement 0 Color update: Bram Lambrecht theoretically fine but it collides with LDLite's and MLCad's COLOR meta command, I don't have a LDLite at the moment to see how it's (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Good catch! I'll do something around this. (...) There is no stu25.dat. Just copy your stud5.dat to stud25.dat. I'll think about this one... Steve (25 years ago, 25-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) then (...) This caught me by surprise as well. Is this UPPERCASE thing written down anywhere besides this thread? A quick search of the ldraw FAQ and ldlite16.html turns up no occurances of the word "uppercase". If this is an unwritten rule (...) (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I agree, but I can go with the flow on this one. I've always written my meta-commands in uppercase, but written my programs to recognize either. Steve -- A big fan of case-INsensitivity since Modula-2 (25 years ago, 27-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)
