Whoah!  DOS version?  Where did that come from?
Interest in the original LDraw and LEdit programs. ;-)

The problem with a DOS version is finding decent opengl
and glut support.

Mesa doesn't work on DOS?!? According to:
  http://mesa3d.sourceforge.net/about/systems.html
MS-DOS is among the supported systems (through contributed
drivers).

Yeah, I looked DOS Mesa and if I recall, it was no longer
being maintained.  I could be wrong about that though, but
the CVS logs on SourceForge seem to contain many references
to removing "old and broken DOS build support".

Looks like I *was* wrong about the DOS mesa after all.  Apparently
the AllegroGL folks have picked up the slack.  So If anyone is
nutz enough to want a DOS version of ldglite you can get it at:

  http://ldglite.sourceforge.net/ldaglite.zip

It limps along in DOS mode under Windows 95 with a few features
stubbed out due to the incomplete glut support in AllegroGL.  I
couldn't actually get it to run on a pure DOS PC.  It complained
on one old junker about the lack of a coprocessor, and it gave a
different error on another PC.  You also need a DOS extender if you
want any chance of seeing it run under pure DOS:

Enjoy, or not...
