I had this up and running in a few minutes under Win98. Adequate launching and
rendering achieved by dragging files onto the executable (in Explorer).
Rendering was definitely slower than LDLite.
When looking for subfiles, LDLite will look in the model file's directory.
LDGLite doesn't seem to do this. Launching from the command prompt, cd'ed to
the model directory sidestepped this problem.
Looks like an excessive number of edge-lines are getting over-written by the
surface-fills.
This is a request for an extension: if there's no GUI control, it would be good
to have a command-line option to turn on shading. Something like -FH (for
highlight - -FS is already taken).
Ldglite looks very promising, Don!
