(...) L3P has a bug with part colors when there is a single part in a sub-file. In this case, you need to ask yourself why you have this case. It seems overkill to have side.ldr with just one part in it. None the less, it is a bug in L3P. (...) LPub (...) (21 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) The first run with -ca1 should give an (almost) orthographic look. If you want a 100% orthographic view you should put the keyword "orthographic" into the POV file. But why would you want the first run then? To place the camera? /Lars (22 years ago, 21-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.ray)
