In these two particular cases, I found what the problem was. Some of you might
already be aware of this problem, but it was new to me.
In the original parts, I had moved the statement "(CW Quads)" down a couple of
lines. In doing so, I had to add a "0" to comment it. The error occured
because I did not leave a space between the "0" and the "(CW Quads)":
0(CW Quads) should be:
0 (CW Quads)
I figured out that any comment line not having a space after the "0" will get a
Syntax error in LDLite with the -L option on.
Annoyingly hard to find. Especially since these files use that new box3#8p.dat
primitive, and I recall that primitive being involved in a similar Syntax error
problem with an earlier version of LDLite. So I spent a lot of time on a false
trail thinking this problem was related.
The moral of the story? Avoid spamcake when editing files.
