(...) I tried to get LeoCAD into Debian last year with the help of a Debian devel but they were too scared of adding the library without a license (there's a long discussion on the Debian-Jr mailing list archives). I even have .deb packages ready (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I tried it recently, but I am afraid I am too used to writing my models in `vi` to apprecate the interface. Speed-wise it seemed okay. I would rather prefer that you spent some time getting the "polling" feature to work properly. Play well, (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) And considering that I just got a single bootable CD Linux system, which runs both KDE, Gnome, OpenOffice.org and a bunch of other stuff, it would probably not be difficult to modify this with some LDraw tools added. The big problem - as I see (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) It finally dawned on me (after a less than subtle yet very helpful IM from someone who shall remain nameless :-) that you're the LDGLite author. :-, I've tried the LEdit mode, and gave up in frustration due to the slow redraw (particularly (...)

(...) I've updated the faq; I added verbiage to indicate that LDraw stops looking, once it's found a file. I also corrected the search order. Steve (22 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) So it all boils down to speed? Has anyone actually tried the LEdit mode (besides the Mac folks who currently have no other option)? I'm just wondering how much of a speedup is required.

I'd like some ideas to add to my "to do" list. (...) That's an interesting thought. Is (...) (22 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
