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).

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 format works for old Macs and then
make arrangements to host it on ldraw.org.

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 available as .zip (at least the parts
file) ?

(...) Can Stuffit Expander handle a .tar.gz file? That would be perfect since there's already a complete set of parts files already in that format. This parts file works well on linux and Mac OS X. (URL) (23 years ago, 10-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
