AFAIK, Filip Spacek is the only person who has a copy of the LDraw

There are at least two other people with the source code to LDraw, if I

having given the source for LEdit to anyone.

Not that it matters -- AFAIK, James only gave out his code on the condition
that the receiver wouldn't pass it on to anyone else.

IMHO, a program like MLCad should be ported to Mac rather than the
original LDraw suite.

Definitely.  The LDraw code, in particular, is nothing to write home about.
No disrespect to James, but LDraw is a very straight-ahead (in the brute-force
programming sense) interpretation of the problem.  LEdit, now, I wouldn't mind
seeing.
