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 programs, the
Dos version was just the start but bigger and better things are on the
horizion if we, as a community, drop the restrictions placed upon us by DOS
(to cite one example, the 8+3 filename limit).

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? (dont forget dithered based colors.)
- yes 8+3 filename format sucks (no long names)
- seing how we will quite possible NEVER see the source code, cant update it
- LEdits primary file to save is DAT, and not LDR unless stated.
