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 (...) (25 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 (25 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 (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

Another header...? I want to be able to make context-specific notes on the FAQ items, which will not be exposed in the final output. I'm thinking of something like a Comment: header, which the parser will discard during processing. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)

(...) You or I could start work on this before translations or FAQ subset extraction are implemented; the bulk of the work in snarfing a FAQ will be to copy the existing questions into their own files and start creating headers. Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.faq)
