I have two comments.  First of all, it appears that you divided the colors in
ldconfig.ldr by 256, instead of dividing by 255.  For example, blue in
ldconfig.ldr has RGB values of 0, 51, 178.  Dividing these by 256 yields the
values you have below, which is why I'm assuming that's where you got your
numbers.  Dividing by 255 (since the range is 0 to 255, not 0 to 256) would
yield <0, 0.2, 0.6980>.  Of course, this isn't likely to produce any visible
difference, but if you're going to calculate things out to 4 decimal places,
it's probably best to use the correct values in those 4 decimal places.  (Note
that I didn't check your values for the other four colors; maybe you didn't
really do this.)

Secondly, I'd suggest adding the following to the end of the file right above
the 0 L3P ENDPOV: • <snip>

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Is this better?

(...) <snip> (...) <snip> (...) It looks good. However, while I did copy and paste the lines that help out LDView, I didn't write them. They come directly from ldconfig.ldr, so saying "LDView code by Travis Cobbs" is misleading. --Travis (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.cad.ray)
