I am successfully using a cross section of the LDraw related applications in
Windows 2000.  MLCad, LDraw Add On, L3Lab, L3P Add on, L3P and POV Ray.  I
have not tried to run LEdit or LDraw since MLCad and L3Lab can replace those
pretty well in the Windows environment.  I am having a problem with LDLite
that I think is some sort of path problem(works sometimes, other times it
doesnt render anything, depends how I envoke a dat file I think), but since
L3Lab works, I dont even need that.
There is the command line functionality that is pretty much the same as NT4,
but I am unsure how well LEdit and LDraw work within it.

I am running two processors, so when POV Ray is rendering huge things, I can
go about other business without a big performance hit.  I have the hard drive
partitioned down the middle to allow me to run Win98 on the same box in order
to play games.

them.  I know LEdit is for DOS, and Microsoft is doing away with DOS - so does
that mean it can't emulate a command prompt environment to run LEdit??  And,
Mike - does MLCad run in 2000?  Has it been tested?

A couple of concerns before I make a serious switchover.
