Got on update on this situation.
Seems that L3PAO is not compatible with Windows 2000 in some way(maybe just on
my machine? i dunno).
When I booted into Windows 98 on the same machine, and ran the shortcut to the
same location, L3PAO worked. All environment vars have been set properlyon
both partitions, ie LDRAWDIR and l3p in a PATH dir, and LDAO installed.
X-posted to lugnet.cad.dev, Since I think the developers should be aware, even
though they probably read lugnet.cad as well. If this is a no-no, let me know!
Thanks
-Doug
