This is right. Combining this with Chris's observation regarding the -u switch,
then here is the procedure (ready for the OS X install document), which I have
tested on my own installation:
- Assumption: ldraw folder is in ~/Library (the Library folder within your user
directory, a recommended location)
- Assumption: parts update (2003-03, lcad0303.zip) downloaded to the desktop
- Launch Terminal (in Applications/Utilities)
- Type command 'unzip -u ~/Desktop/lcad0303.zip -d ~/Library'
- Respond with 'A' (All) when prompted for file replacements (for the patient,
respond 'y' when prompted; for the impatient, use -uo instead of -u in the
command line above)
- Quit Terminal if so inclined
