Hi All, While LPub 4 is not ready for prime time, it is available for programmers out there that are interested in helping out. The source is under CVS as the project LPub4. There is an lpub.pro and Makefile for OS X, and lpub.vcproj for those using (...) (17 years ago, 14-Apr-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) That's the default thickness. What are you seeing? Keep in mind that edges are off by default, so unless you've turned them on, you won't get any edges at all.

(...) In a Mac-specific code section, you could set the desired file type to *.app, and then force a directory to be chosen.
