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 distribution ?
2) Some of the files reported as missing appear to be in a sub-folder '48'
within /LDRAW/P/. Moving those up to /LDRAW/P helps but does not elminate the
the list of missing parts (e.g. 3005.dat, etc).
3) That bit about deleting the preferences file is a poor UI choice. It should
have given me a menu option for specifying (or respecifying) the location in the
first place. This is a mac, ease of use should be an objective.

| (...) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
