Anyhow any news on LCAD-6D?(An evloving LCAD standard)
(Should be esaier now that a major bug in GLCad3D is fixed..;-) )
And the other day I had a call from someone stil using a 1997 copy • of the
original L-Draw!! Well you can't kill a good idea..


Yeah, I still prefer using the original version of LDraw.  MLCad uses
too
many of my system resources.  I wish someone would update LDraw!!!

Hi Mike -
Unfortunately, LDraw in its original format is not going to get
updated.  The
reason is the original files are the property of the Jessiman family,
and I also
believe only two people have the source code (besides them).  The
Jessimans are
very supportive of what has happened to promote what James has started.
Still,
out of respect for James and the lack of a genuine need for an update,
the
original package will remain the same indefinitely.  Those of us
involved with
maintaining these resources agree that though its a great tool, we are
much
better off focusing on making progress into bigger, fuller-featured
applications
than continuing the old DOS system.

We realize that a lot of people still enjoy using the original stuff.
LDraw.org
will never cease to support and make available the LDraw package, but
what's out
there will progress and the site will embrace it.
