I'm assuming the 80 char lines is what you're aiming for here, so based
on the 64 char limit on descriptions I started the descriptions on the
16th character of the line. That gives room for a 15 character name
and a single space before the description. Anything longer and you'll
get the ragged look and a truncated description. But hey, if we keep
most of the names to 11.3 and under it looks pretty nice:
6028.dat Animal Dragon Tail
6133.dat Animal Dragon Wing
6133longfilename.dat Animal Dragon Wing Long version
4493c00.dat Animal Horse (Complete)
Here's what -8 does to the long filename. Is that ok?
C:\LDraw>diff -b parts.lst parts.long
11c11
< 6133LO~1.DAT Animal Dragon Wing Long version
---
> 6133longfilename.dat Animal Dragon Wing Long version
I put a beta executable here if anyone wants to shake the bugs out.
