Hi all,
I've been making good progress with LPub development. I've been putting it
through its paces for testing purposes, and finally finished the LDraw file for
my small pneumatic walker Pedmatic (due to a typo of mine, it is also sometimes
referred to as Pendmatic). Here is the original MOC:

Here are the building instructions for Pedmatic:

I used MLCad for all the entry, my newest LSynth for pneumatic hose generation,
POV-Ray 3.6 for rendering, and LPub for the final product. The building
instructions use a few new LPub and LSynth features:
- LSynth now has the ability to create synthesized results into a MLCad group.
- LPub now has the ability to remove previously defined groups, as an
alternative to buffer exchange.
- LPub now has support for multiple steps per page, and this reduces the
number of pages from 93 down to 31.
- The use of POV-Ray's transparent background (alph-channel) is fabulous for
providing background images as the backdrop to building instruction pages.
For those interested, the backdrop used in Pedmatic's BI's is generated by a
fractl program I wrote a few months ago.
I'm working on Inno setup now for LPub and LSynth. Gotta figure out how to run
an uninstall before the new install and then I'll be ready.
