Just in case.

What case?
Who needs this final 0 line and what for?

I *think* LEdit tags every model file with a final 0 line.  Maybe it's
probably almost entirely unnecessary.  Just a historical holdover.  I'm a
believer in redundancy for human readability, and that lone 0 on the bottom
of a file shows me that the file is complete.

This format might have (I didn't check at the time) saved LDLite's butt in
the first few versions, when LDLite had problems with files ending/not
ending with a final line break.

(...) I've noticed that if a model file (somehow) ends up without an ending "0", then LEdit simply will not recognize the last line of the model. --Karim (25 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
