Hello,
here's my experience with LDView v0.7.

I have a Diamond Monster Voodoo2. The program works great in a normal windowed
mode. It may be running through my normal AGP(S3 Virge Gx2). The full screen
feature crashed the program, with no noticable problems with Windows(98se). It
gave me an error about not being able to initalize the OpenGL drivers, or mode
or something. I was sitting looking at a grey screen until I pressed ESC.
then my normal desktop was restored.

Great feature, I love it!

I have noticed some black quads, or triangles on one of my parts in the
current update vote. 30201.dat, bottom surface, you might check it out too. It
doesn't show up like that anywhere else.
I have noticed some primitives showing up as a different shade. I
have "Enabled, High quality, Specular highlight, Lines-Draw edges, Lines-High
quality, and misc-high quality studs" turned on. Let me know if I need to send
you a picture of this.

All in all,
I am still impressed! Great job!
