Cool! Looks like you could use a bigger monitor ;-). However, I must admit, that's an impressively efficient use of screen real estate. The LDView window also proves that OpenGL can even sometimes be useful without 3D acceleration. It's a shame the (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Wow. Did you launch all of those L3Lab windows from LDAO's Editor (the 'Camera' button), or did you open them separately? I've had some intermittent goofiness with launching multiple view-windows from the Editor. Steve (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

A few things to note. First off, I added command line support relatively late in my LDView development.
