Hi Garry,
Will this be a stand-alone utility, or a utility within an other program?
I just got an other idee, when reading all those reply's. Perhaps you can
contact Steve Bliss and ask him if he can implement your utility into
LDRAW-AddOn ? In the mean time you can post your utility (stand alone?) to
Lugnet.
I'm looking forward, save's me a lot of time. Anyhow, as i wrote ,i'm no
software engineer at all, and have to spend perhaps 500 times more time on
it then the programmers among the LUGNET users.
Thanks a lot for you effort.
Regards,
Ludo
