I may have worded it too strongly when I wrote "decided",
but I have appended the relevant messages from L-CAD, so you
can decide for yourself.

Play well,

PS: Could everybody please check the colour section in the
    FAQ and tell me what is missing (or wrong).

What if we dither 14 and 14 - what would the colour number be? 494? -
for condoctive areas and let the new rendering programs treat them as
special cases, chrome or so, maybe a little duller, while LDraw keeps
drawing them yellow?

I think this sounds like a very good idea.
