I was looking through some of the articles on ldraw.org and found some to be out of date or to have errors. I'd be happy to help clean this up but I don't know what the process is to get access or to submit changes...? For example (URL) has a long (...) (18 years ago, 1-May-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Oooo, no they are not. The one on LDraw.org contains a bottom subsection of newer colors—such as flesh and Maersk blue but not Trans Orange—which are not part of the standard distribution. I had no idea there were official color codes for (...) (18 years ago, 28-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)

Before I found the direct link to (URL) here on a lugnet discusion, I searched for ldconfig.ldr at ldraw.org for quite a long time without succeess. I tried the Search function, entering ldconfig.ldr. It came up with: "Downloads: no downloads (...) (18 years ago, 26-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Which may or may not be an issue. It's irrelevant if you're just editing existing lines, but if you add new ones, vi will add them in the file-native format (CRLF for a DOS file), while emacs will add them in the machine-native format. Dan (18 years ago, 3-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Being a vi user, I'm drawn to the natural conclusion that emacs must be the culprit ;-). (On a more serious note, I actually don't know what emacs does with line endings. I know that vi leaves them alone unless you specifically tell it to (...) (18 years ago, 3-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Well from your two reports it sounds very much like the files are uploading and downloading correctly. I guess we write the RACHAL one off as a strange quirk and I'll use NoteTab to ensure all future ones are DOS formatted before upload and (...) (18 years ago, 3-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) The upload is via an html form so I'm pretty sure it's not ftp (unless there's a way for this to be automated from a form?).
