  Re: Line Thickness and Antialiasing in LdGLite 0.7.3
 
(...) Well I'm not positive anything I wrote works correctly, but I'm not sure it got to the functions mentioned above in this case. There seemed to be a bunch of special case checks for files like light.dat and primitives where the determinant is (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) OK I confess, I took the cheap and easy fix rather than digging deeper to find the root of the problem. After further consideration I suppose the correct solution would be to run FixDatName() on all the hardcoded lowercase filenames when the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
