(...) True, but lucky for you, I was following this thread, and my work machine (Windows 2000) has a Rage 128 Pro. I get the same effect with the -J option. The -z100 -Z2000 fixes it. One really strange thing, though. As far as I can tell, LDView (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
