Thank you for your reply.
I have had no such luck. In the past I have followed your directions by
writing "set LDRAWDIR=c:\lego\ldraw;" into my c:\autoexec.bat file. (that
is the correct directory). I had LDAO and L3PAO both installed, was running
L3p via L3PAO, and, yet, L3p was still not functioning correctly for me. I
had to go to the MS-DOS prompt and type in the command manually before
running L3p. The batch file I created worked properly as well. However,
since I have had those problems, I have reformatted my harddrive and
installed a new version of Windows. So, I have yet to try it again. I am
waiting for the download link for the new version of LDAO to work correctly
before try I running L3p again via L3PAO. It doesn't work. Rather, the
link does work, but the file I download is corrupt. Anyone know what's up
with that?
One further note: setting the ldraw directory via the autoexec.bat file did
work for me when I had Windows 95 installed, but that was several years ago.
Thanks for the help Lars.
