I just downloaded some parts off of Paul Easter's pages that were classified
as "nearly complete" (30201 and 30209).  They would not show up in
LEdit.

Just solved the problem... for anyone who is interested, the files were
formatted in columns using multiple spaces to make the numbers line up...

I went into wordpad and did a series of [Find "  " replace with " "] until
they were all gone and then resaved the file... works now :)

I could be misremembering or just mistaken, but I believe the problem is
with the extra spaces around the filename on subfile references.  LEdit
cannot handle *editing* lines like:

1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1         somepart.dat

But it should not have a problem *rendering* lines like this, as long as
they are in subfiles, not in the file currently being edited.

There is a wide variation in the formatting of the part files and primitive
files in the LDraw library.  Some files have multiple spaces, some files
use tabs, some files are tightly packed with as little excess space as
possible.  I haven't heard of LEdit not being able to render these files
before.
