(...) I agree fully on this. A text line is not complete until you have specified the end of it (with EOLN). A LDRAW model consists of text lines, and should IMO end with EOLN. Windows expects 'text' files to end with EOLN, and mistreats them if (...) (19 years ago, 20-Oct-07, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
