Some additional data points, for the record:
1) The LDraw FAQ document and Bram's LDraw & LEdit tutorial,
http://hugin.risoe.dk/JJ_Memorial/FAQ/
http://library.advanced.org/20551/
both say LDraw and LEdit everywhere, except when mentioning executable
filenames.
2) The ldraw.doc file that came with the installation I have says:
LDraw beta 0.24 documentation.
The LDraw program is to draw your models on screen after
entering them by hand or with the LEdit program. This program
is not interactive and is controlled by the following command
line parameters.
and the ledit.doc file says:
LEdit beta 0.4 documentation.
The LEdit program is to create and edit your models.
This program is interactive and uses the following keys.
Sorry, no mouse support.
There's no author's name in the file, so I assume that James wrote these?
3) James's LDraw page,
http://silo.riv.csu.edu.au/~jjessiman/ldraw/
says "LDraw" in big letters at the very top, and the title of the
document is "James Jessiman's LDraw page."
