(...) Not in my DAT files, they shouldn't. Especially not editing stuff. Truly generated code, maybe it's alright. It should always go at the top, where it can be easily deleted. Steve (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) OK I added it. Ldglite now takes -cg<la>,<lo>,<r> like l3p, and I like it. I admit it's not exactly like l3p since I still leave the origin at ldraw world coords (0,0,0) whereas l3p moves them to the center of the bounding box of the model. (...) (22 years ago, 23-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) What about program extensions that modify the DAT code in some way? Are you suggesting that the author of a plugin shouldn't credit himself in the form of a DAT Comment? -Orion (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) does this include "don't add any new lines unless they're intentional"? As in, a program shouldn't add (and forgive me if this is incorrect dat format): 0 edited by dan with DatZap on Tuesday :) Dan (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
