If I were to use a CSTUD.DAT file, what would have to be different about • it

that function?  Would this be an acceptable course of action?

I believe that would take care of the problem.  CSTUD.DAT wouldn't be • recognized
by LDraw and LEdit as anything special--these two programs recognize files • named
stud*.dat as special files; LDraw substitutes stu2*.dat when the fast draw
option is specified.  And (by default) LEdit substitutes a simple line for
stud*.dat primitives.


Right, only L3P's primitive substitute for "stud.dat" contains the logo.

  Would it be all right if I simply copied the STUD.DAT file to CSTUD.DAT?
More specifically, would there be any purity concerns about using the cloned
primitive?
