Hey all, A co-worker has stumbled across my Lego page and now I'm the resident Lego expert. :-P His daughter has lost the instructions to her Lego set, and his question to me is, what can he do to replace it? He was thinking along the lines of (...) (26 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.faq)

Jeremy: (...) You're welcome. (...) Yup. (...) Actually we write "katalog" or "folder". The latter is Very Bad(tm) Danish, because the actual meaning of the word "folder" is booklet, even though MS tries hard to change the meaning. (...) Use the (...) (26 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) Thank you, Jacob, for the FAQ item! :-, Question about the term "catalog": I assume you meant "directory" (or "folder", etc. :-) Is the term "catalog" in use a lot in Denmark? I'm looking at this as a potential language issue. What should I (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

Hi David, (...) The file "rtm.exe" should be located in your LDraw catalog. If it isn't there you will have to reinstall it from the LDraw distribution. You should also remember that you have to run LDraw and LEdit from the catalog you installed (...) (26 years ago, 3-May-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) At what level would Exclude be in the way? Would you nix all items in the "excluded" file? Would it be selective, allowing certain headers (such as Subject) to remain? What purpose would it serve? Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) Off-the-wall question -- haven't thought about this -- just tossing it out: Would an 'exclude' also be useful in addition to 'include'? (Both are relatively easy to implement.) --Todd (26 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
