Belated congratulations! I was just struck by how LeoCAD has been such a long-standing, quiet stalwart of the L-CAD family—from what I've read, much like Leonardo himself!
As far as I can see, there was never any announcement or fanfare about LeoCAD in r.t.l, it just starts being mentioned almost in passing from Aug. 1997 onwards. Perhaps a bigger deal was made in the mailing list than the newsgroup, but in any event, here it is as strong as ever 25 years later, while a lot of other noise and spectacle has come and gone. A truly commendable accomplishment.
