There is a small bug in the 'stealth release' of LDAO, which I posted to
GeoCities (instead of the LDAO homepage/site). This bug will be noticeable
if you install a parts update, but don't immediately run a makelist. When
you open the VEC window, you'll get a message indicating that parts.lst is
out of date, and asking permission to run Make List. If you go ahead and
run Make List, LDAO will go through the process, and then open the VEC.
But no new parts.lst will have been built. And if you open the VEC again,
you'll get the same message.
To avoid this problem, run some version of makelist (even LDAO's) after you
install the update.
I would have posted a quick fix to this problem, but the LDAO code is
currently lying in pieces all over my virtual shop floor, while I
reorganize the VEC function.
