Hey, is anyone _using_ ldlist? I don't even get questions asking why it
doesn't work...
Does anyone know you can press CTRL-C in ldlist and paste the part number in
any other (text) editing program?
It also implements a drag-and-drop interface for anyone interested - you can
drag a part from ldlist and drop on ... - oh well, nobody wanted to
implement the receiving code in their editors, but it's there.

Yes, Delphi 2 is the only version that can compile the current source (If
it's compilable at all, loading it up in D5 usually breaks something
backwards...).

There's not much to backport, most of the code is the (buggy Q&D) Pascal
port of a very early ldlite, the rest are a couple of lines of UI (User
Interface) code, the incremental selection of the part list being the main
part.

Not for the moment, but I could put it on the Web Site if there's any (real)
interest.
Another (Windows) wish: I would very much like to see a .dll (with some
standardized interface) implementing LDRAW rendering on a supplied dc - then
it would be sooo easy to build all those little helper programs, adding
functionality around the basic rendering engine.
Happy building,
