Hi! Now that I've gotten a 20GB hard drive installed in my PC, I'm reloading all the various LCAD programs onto the new drive. But I have a problem. I *STILL* cannot access www.ldraw.org, so I cannot get the basic LEdit/LDraw stuff. So, I'm (...) (24 years ago, 22-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
