Hi all,

I've just uploaded the first beta version of txt2dat, a command-line
program to create LDraw files from text. It has been developed using
cygwin and mingw on Windows XP, and has not been fully tested in any
other environments.

You can download it
<http://www.br-eng.info/about/lego/LDraw/txt2dat/index.htm here>.
If you wanna give it a go, and let me know if you can get it to work,
please feel free.

  txt2dat -s hello -c 4 -p 72 c:\windows\fonts\ariel.ttf | ldglite -i1

Thanks.  That was fun,

Don
