I asked Lars to add -i and -o functionality to mklist (so I could index
various directories of part and primitive files).  He sent along the
EXE, but not the source.  When LDraw 0.27 was being finished up, I
included in the 1.3 mklist.exe.

I never remembered to update the version in complete.exe.

Hmm.  Previously, I'd want whichever compile was most portable, in the
sense of running under the most emulators.  I suppose if you're making
the source code portable, the version of the EXE doesn't matter as much.

But generally, I'd prefer a DOS compile, since the rest of the LDraw
package is DOS-based.

(...) According to my "Sent Items" folder I sent mklist13.zip including both mklist.c and mklist.exe to you at July 3rd, 2000. On your request I resent it to you on May 14th, 2002. And today I'll send it for the third time :-) /Lars (23 years ago, 27-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
