(...) is (...) parts. (...) O.K. Steve, I'll break it in sub parts for reuse in other track parts as curved track, points and cross. When reddy, i'll repost it. regards and thanks for the answer. Ludo (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hey, I believe that's my cue to resume my nagging about the L3Lab source code ;-) Why not just release it all? Just a thought... I'll be quiet now. Don (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hello, It works great for me so far... Is there any chance of getting a high-res (48pt) 1-4cyls and 1-4cyls2 substitutions in there?

  Re: *** LDView v0.9 Released ***
 
(...) Couple of feature requests: 1. Have it accept model files when launching. You know, pass the filename to the program as it starts. This would make for an excellent viewer when added to the right-click menu in explorer. And it could also be (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I think a monetary limit on a redistribution charge is better than disallowing fees entirely, which I think is what Jacob wanted. My point is that if it actually costs money to distribute, and you prevent cost recovery, you discourage people (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Parts license
 
(...) By category, probably. On slow disk systems, it may be adventagous to pre-load and cache an entire category of common parts. It also opens to door for people to release a collection of pieces only as a complete set. One might choose to put the (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
