What does MLCad check to determine if the "Original LDraw Package" is installed?

Hi all,

I was trying to create an installation of LDraw and MLCad with only the
unofficial parts. So I thought to create a new directory on another drive, copy
LDRAW.EXE and LEDIT.EXE into it, unpack the unoffical parts in directories PARTS
and P en create a copy of MLCad there.
Next I'd run Makelist to create a partslist of just the unofficial parts.

Telling MLCad to look for the LDraw base dir elsewhere keeps telling me the
"Original LDraw package" is not installed... :-(

So I tried a different approach:

I downloaded ldraw027.exe and installed that. Told MLCad to look for LDraw at
the other location and it worked! Next I deleted the PARTS and P directories and
unpacked the unofficial parts there, creating new PARTS and P dirs. Starting
MLCad again gives me the message "Original LDraw package not found"?

What to do? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Jaco

(...) I think the only required file is STUD.DAT in the P directory. (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
