Andy's group on the lx-viewer has made more progress than i think anyone
expected. if a cad project does use this as a starting point i'd like to make
one request. make it a fork rather than the continuation of it.
as i stated in another thread, i like small packages that do a lot.
lx-viewer is this to a tee. a full cad package would undoubtibly cause it to
grow several fold. good for the cad package, but lx-viewer is finding a niche
as it is. fast and functional.
ok, i'm rambling now.

Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of DOS
and danced the skies on Linux silvered wings.
