    Re: Idea, using functions for some primitives. —Orion Pobursky
   Time to throw fuel on the fire. Why are we still latching ourselves on to the original dos LDRAW program. Isn't it time the LDraw community graduated to Windows/Mac based programs and let the DOS program fade away from usage. Much like other (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Idea, using functions for some primitives. —Tim Courtney
     (...) By all means, a good discussion :-) (...) Here's how I see it. As a community we need to answer this question and act accordingly. What is the role of 'LDraw?'

        Re: Idea, using functions for some primitives. —Thomas Burger
     (...) here is my opinoin on this dos program we all use.. LEdit. pro's - its fast (faster then MLCAD ( sorry mike i just dont like it ) ) - easy to use -portable cons - use of 16 colors?

   (...) No, please don't, I still use it! (And I can't believe I'm the only one). With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen. (23 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
