Oddly, I noticed that ldraw027.exe includes the v1.3 executable with
the -i and -o options, but the complete.exe archive overwrites it with
the v1.2 executable, which seems to match the included source files.  So
what happened to the v1.3 source, and why does complete.exe include the
older executable?

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.

Do you really want a DOS compile?  I suppose I could do that with the
djgpp version of the gcc compiler.  The .exe in the mklistp.zip file
is a 32bit windows command line executable.  I thought that might be
more fashionable these days.  (It doesn't make the scroll bar in my
"DOS" window disappear when running on a win2k or XP box).

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.

(...) Ok, I tried to recreate the changes for 1.3 based on the message strings contained in the executable. The -i and -o commands work for both windows and linux, but I couldn't tell what else may have changed or been fixed for 1.3. You can try the (...) (21 years ago, 26-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) 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 (21 years ago, 27-Jun-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
