Got to play with it some more today, some jumbled notes follow...

Ok, I changed this and the effect is like night and day. Thanks!
I think I'm using the L3P parser. No parser options given, exe is named
ldglite.exe. WHOOPS I'm not, -l3 gives completely different behavior. ok,
gotcha, rambling on ahead now...
I like the L3P-like camera command-line options, except they don't seem to
work. Specifically, I'm using -cgx,y,z (is that x,y,z or lat,long,dist?)
and -cox,y,z -- no matter what values I give the -cg the view never changes
(or changes just slightly?) This happens both with and without a -a option.
Similarly, the -co doesn't seem to be moving the model origin. Tested with
both the release version and the "silver beta" version.
When you start up the window, is it possible to place it centered on-screen?
It always comes up with the upper-left at 0,0 on my monitor, which places
its title bar smack-dab underneath my task bar. Right-clicking on its
taskbar entry to get to the "Move" menu item is tricky, due to the tooltip
causing the redraw. :-,
I really like the -q option -- especially when I can catch it in mid-draw so
that it clears the screen just when it starts drawing the line edges. This
is a nifty effect -- how about an option to draw *just* the line edges?
That's all I have tonight. Playing with the -fh, -W and -q settings, and
the rendering is just gorgeous. Wish I could position the camera quickly.
Cheers,
