Isn't this a matther of the installed operating system? I'm no PC expert,
but i think that the clusters on a Windows 98 and a NT system are different,
isn't it (FAT,FAT32,NTFS)?
If you think that INLINING is a better solution, how can this be done? I
have no experience with 'inline'.Is there some information available abouth
this topic?
I do use Steve Bliss LDRAW ADD ON, it was a great help to copy and rotate
multiple lines. Thanks Steve for this great utility, but i'm missing a line
number 'box' in the editor. When i check the file with L3P, i get
linenumbers back witch contain errors (bad vertice sequence). So you can
imagine that an error in line 1524 is verry hard to find back, if you have
to count from 1,2,3,4,...1524.

| (...) Inlining is replacing a reference to a subfile with the code from that file. So if I had a part file, which had the line: 1 1 10 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stud.dat and I "inlined" the stud.dat, my one line would be replaced with: 1 1 10 0 0 6 0 0 (...)
