I've gotta remember to remove that WTOWER.DAT file so folks can't tell what
a lousy builder I am. :) (Besides, it uses an unofficial piece or two)

Now you're onto something. I started with ldlite because the source was
in C/C++ and was available, and I'm way to lazy to start from scratch.
I also love the way it hooks into Netscape and I'm hoping to control it
from Emacs someday. However LeoCAD will probably always have a speed
advantage due to the reformatted parts library.
Are you ready to open up the source to LeoCAD (or even the parts library
file format). If so, I might be able to contribute.
