I just remembered something else:
Since LDraw doesn't specifically support the /s directory, parts which
call subparts in the /s directory must include the directory information.
For example:
0 Space Wheel Medium
0 Name: 2593.dat
0 Author: Steve Bliss
0 Official LCad update 98-07
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s/25931-12.DAT
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Be sure that your program supports similar use of directories. That way,
directories can be added even if they weren't planned on. (For example,
the ldraw.org OMR will probably use such a system to organize model
numbers, models, and submodels.)
