I use -mF so I don't go spastic with the render window poping up and down each
time I invoke ldglite and it finishes. This non-interactive render ignores all
steps. I'm sure LPub has handled and removed all the CLEAR statements in the
process of creating a step DAT. In this scenario, I see no need to use the -D.

Don't bother doing it for me.

I'm not afraid. I just have my hands full with LPub. LSynth is next.

Good call.

| (...) I cool with that. It's a whole lot easier for me to make ldglite behave well as a unseen simple renderer, and let LPub handle all the tricky instruction formating macros. The only reason I can see for me to add internal ldglite support for all (...) (20 years ago, 3-Nov-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
