I've made a handful of little services that help you look up information about a selected part by name or number from nearly any application. Bricklink, the LDraw parts tracker, Lugnet partsref, and Peeron part searches are supported. Each database (...) (18 years ago, 8-Nov-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

So, I installed Darwine on my MBP, and I was excited, at first, to see that TD.exe worked.

(...) 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.
