There are at least two other people with the source code to LDraw, if I
remember correctly.  Maybe three.  But it seems like I've never heard of James

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.

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
