Most of these "related files" *ALREADY* have correct dependencies,
I'd wager. I know that I personally almost *always* use the relevant
non-disc primitive whenever I use a disc primitive.

I agree 100 percent! (And I'll continue to maintain a "hold" vote
on any such primitive, myself. IIRC, at least one of the LCAD programmers
has stated in a message posted here in LUGNet that quads are converted
into triangles anyway at time of rendering, so converting triangles
to quads in the primitive is a useless waste! I'd rather spend the
one or two kilobytes to be saved if it improves my rendering time.)

I'd not disagree with this one, either. ;-D

"Off with their heads!"???... I could probably be talked into
this one, also... ;-)
Thanks,

| Franklin: Quit complaining and work on getting the unofficial primitives resolved! Then they won't affect other files on the tracker. Slapping a "hold" on them doesn't *really* resolve anything. Let's try it this way: Mark has made some changes to (...) (23 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
