Is this the default location for ldglite on Windows systems, by the way?
I would like to put the default ldglite location in the code.

No, I just keep source code I'm working with in a subdirectory off
projects.  There really isn't any default location for it on Windows
because I don't provide an installer, just the executable (or source)
in a zip file.  I suppose the canonical location on windows would
be "C:\Program Files\ldglite\ldglite.exe", but I'd have to recommend
against that because I really dislike the way spaces in the directory
name make it difficult to run the program from a command prompt.
Perhaps it's best to go with "C:\ldglite\ldglite.exe" unless someone
else has a better suggestion.

Actually, you might want to default to an entirely different viewer
program for Windows...

(...) Good idea! Thanks, I have incorporated your code in LDraw-mode now. I added the ability to change the default parameters passed to the viewer, in case anybody wants to do that. I have considered adding this funcion myself, but I never saw the (...) (23 years ago, 12-Oct-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
