Official Library File Format Restictions

[Chris Dee]

Given that the actual files all have lower case names, and in all cases but 2 they reference each other with lower case names, I definitely feel that the document should indicate this.

FYI, the 2 DAT instances are as follows:

Code:

ldraw travis$ find . -name \*.dat -exec grep -H DAT$ {} \;
./parts/6567c01.dat:1 47 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s\6567s01.DAT
./parts/6567c02.dat:1 40 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s\6567s01.DAT

Just to confirm the parts library is published with all lower-case file names. There are way more than 2 examples of upper-case usage on type 1 lines in the official library. Some even have mixed case (e.g. 6104).

I have a vague recollection that in the days of ldraw.exe upper-case STUD.DAT (or maybe all primitive) references on type 1 lines had a special meaning, but cannot remember what. It might have been to do with over-riding lo-res substitution in fast render mode.
