A typical line from the .bat files can read:
L3P.exe [@]smp5000.ldr  -cc300,-120,-400  -cla0,-90,10  -ld -l -fg -o -q2

Is the above '@' verbatim? Could it be causing the problem?

Tim

Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes, it is my method of marking that the file represents one animation frame.
'@' is a legal filename character and has worked before, but to be 100% sure, I
removed it from the batch file as well as from the model file.

Then I set the stdout to > f:\ldraw\l3p_log.txt, and discoved the L3P message:
*** Cannot find model file 'smp5000.ldr'.
In a default DOS box, this message was swept away by the Usage info flood before
I was able to notice it.

This means L3P really is unable to find any file in the <LDraw> subfolders, in
spite of it seems to be correctly set up. Strange.

Sometimes Windows seems to have a hard time remembering environment variables in
DOS boxes (I'm sure there's some long, complicated and stupid system to it).
Maybe add something to set them to the batch files and see if it works.

Tim

Yes, it did the trick! I just pasted "SET LDRAWDIR=F:\LDraw" into the batch file
and L3P went nicely back to work.

Now I have to figure out how to remind Windows please to use its enviroment
variables...

Thanks again!

(...) In Windows XP, they should be set by Control Panel / System / Advanced / Environment variables. I put mine in the system variable section. Earlier versions of Windows may be different, although I seem to remember it was always similar. ROSCO (18 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
