Now we should really test how well sub-directories work with the
current software and how to handle them correctly.
For example, if main1.dat calls m1-a.dat, should the reference be:
1 ... sets\xxxxz-yy\m1-a.dat
or
1 ... m1-a.dat
?

Heh heh.  Excellent point.  It depends if the software does a chdir
into the model's directory after loading it (or equivalent hand-waving). •  I'd
be *extremely* impressed if LEdit & LDraw did this.

The 'sets\xxxxz-yy\' is necessary.  I think it's safe to say that if you
built the model in LEdit using subdirs, and all the components showed up
correctly in LEdit, all other programs will also handle the sub-dirs
correctly.

(...) Me too -- in a big way -- it's so clean. If the two most vital applications (LEdit and LDLITE) do support subdirectories, then IMHO the win is so big that it's hard not to justify using subdirectories, even if it breaks a few things for a (...)
