     (...) This actually helps out a lot. Now I'll have an idea as to what I'm looking for. I'm sure this prevents a lot of "musical programs". Thank you. James J. P.S.: If only they'd make a similar fusion with 3D-rendering... "LDraw-Ray"... yeah, (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

          Re: Problem finding standard parts in MLCAD —Larry Pieniazek
       (...) Yes, there is that. I am using an older version. I thought Steve had put back a stable (older) version on the download site but I may be wrong. I do have the install image for that older version around somewhere if folks needed it. It hasn't (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jun-01, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
