Yes all the examples seem to use uppercase, but it's never explicitly
stated that it MUST be uppercase. The only thing I could find that came
close was a mention in ledit.doc that said the ledit commands were documented
in uppercase for simplicity, but lowercase would also work. I realize the
ledit commands are not the same as the ldraw syntax, but

Yes, it's the first place I looked.

I recently started adding to the STEP hook in l3view.cpp and when I couldn't
get it to work with my homemade test files containing "0 Step" I switched a
strncmp to a strnicmp. Who knew?
This change may have made it into the latest ldglite source zip file before I
was forced to move it to the sourceforge. I'm not sure since I'm still
reorganizing.
