OK, I did this with MLCad.

They're all in the model dir. Launching ldlite on the main (.dat) model
file correctly displays the whole thing.

OK, did this

What dialog? All I get is a box displaying the file with three buttons
beside it
"inline"
"close"
"cancel"
pressing inline gives an hourglass and nothing else. It doesn't last
long. Nothing changes in the file.
I am running a version that is dated 3.24.99 and it reports itself as
2.0.3 when I do about.
<much frustrated typing/mousing later>
OH! I have to SELECT the lines by clicking on the checkboxes. Pressing
inline THEN causes them to expand. I still don't get a dialog, though.

| (...) The box is the dialog. But it's still a 'mea culpa' -- I was talking about the newer version of LDAO, which never came out of beta. There were some healthy (in the sense of both good and sizeable) changes in the Inliner interface between 2.0.4 (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
