Wow. Lots of little things fixed.  Big THANKS.

You're welcome.

Three things to be aware of in this release:

1. The VEC opens really slowly the first time you access it in any session
of LDAO.  This is because ldraw\parts is being checked to make sure there
aren't any part-files newer than parts.lst.  But there is an internal flag,
so after checking one time (in a single run of LDAO), it doesn't check
again.

I hope in the next version, I will have a File | New Window option in the
VEC, so additional VEC windows can be opened more quickly.

2. The 0 CATEGORY keyword is still not being referenced because the simple
way to check it (read all part-files while loading the VEC) would take too
long.  I should have this implemented in the *next* version, which should
be at least a .1 increment, instead of a .0.1 increment.

3. While there is a date-check on parts.lst vs. ldraw\parts\, there is not
a check of ldraw\parts\ vs. ldraw\vec\.  So if your VEC images are
out-of-date, you will need to remember to MakeCatalog.

OK.  Umm, a question.  Would it serve any useful purpose if I syncronized all
the time/date stamps of the files in the updates?

If it wouldn't be much trouble, that would be nice. It would help us part authors distinguish between the version released in the update and any version we have floating around our hard-drive. I just had a situation where I accidently unziped the (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
