I believe one of you Mac guys may have actually inquired about the
clone part files at one point. So clone part makers, what's the
current status? I have a copy of clone001.zip. Should I make that
available from the Mac ldglite startup page, with an offsite link
telling where to get the current clone part library (when/if it
reappears)?

I'll have to look into this. The path should be available somewhere.
Otherwise the file wouldn't open. Does it do the same thing when you
click on a DAT link on the internet vs a local file?
