The key and string for LDRAWDIR do match the draft environment.plist
contents from the ldglite config script.

In light of this, I would be inclined to modify the ldglite
configuration script to:
(1) create org.ldraw.plist if one does not already exist, setting
LDRAWDIR as described in the thread and LDGLITEARGS to whatever it is
we -- Don, Chris, me, > and anyone else who registers an opinion --
agree on (currently, this looks like it will be '-l3' plus a video
setting for G3 systems; G4s will go to a 'full-screen' size window),
(2) add LDGLITEARGS to an org.ldraw.plist that already has LDRAWDIR
set, or
(3) do nothing if both LDRAWDIR and LDGLITEARGS are present.

Ok, but remember James used the word "eventually" a few messages
back.  I wouldn't skip the environment.plist file in favor of the
org.ldraw.plist file just yet.  Do both files, or just the
environment.plist file if both is too much work.  Eventually I'll
add support for the org.ldraw.plist file, but that's a lot of work
so it'll be a while.  I'd like to finish up the 1.0.x ldglite
release so I can figure out to update the linux installation
instructions to use the hardware opengl acceleration available
in current linux distributions.

(...) Doing both isn't a problem. Actually, the question I had was how soon ldglite would check both locations. Tom (21 years ago, 9-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
