| (...) First, I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a Mac owner, and I've never really used Mac OS X. Having said that, I think the mock-up looks amazing, but I do have one complaint. While I don't have anything against the Aqua interface, it is (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) Yes, 8.6, apparently with the OpenGL 1.2.1 components (I must have installed these when I was trying out BrickDraw 3D). My suggestion would be to make 7.6.1 your base target. That release was reasonably stable, earlier releases had varying (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) Thanks Barney! I cobbled that together in Photoshop out of elements from iMovie, QuickTime Player, and iTunes, as a way to illustrate some of my ideas for the ultimate functionality I think "the" Mac editor should have (were everyone to (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| You are using Mac OS 8.6, right? So we can be pretty sure that anything compiled for 9.x will work on 8.6. I know that one goal is to get an editor that works back to 7.1 (or 7.6) so that kids can use it at schools. Anyway, no need to worry about (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) Voila ! Yes, Stuffit Expander (v 5.5) did unwind the tar.gz file :) Now I get no missing file messages, but I did get 30 or 40 syntax errors. The drawing is much more complete than before. The biggest hassle is that the window title bar for (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) I can handle (i.e. decompress) .gz files on the mac. Is a more complete set of parts files available in .gz somewhere ? I *think* that Stuffit Expander can handle .zip files (but probably not .exe). Any chance the ldraw027.exe could be made (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) It sounds like the parts files available on Marsbase do not include the original parts from the ldraw027.exe file, just the updates. What you guys need to do is have someone convert the linux parts file to a sit, or hqx, or whatever archive (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| James, Yes, indeed the preferences file does appear to be part of the issue, however... 1) I get a partial rendering (and a whole mess of missing file messages). Do these drawings (specifically M6067.DAT) require parts that are not in the marsbase (...) (24 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
