I appritiate the quick replys yesterday. I still have not been able to get this to work in 7.14.8 on windows XP. I have a very simple text file(attached) containing the most common commands we use here in a folder by itself. I have not created a new database. I open a dos shell from that directory and input the command below. I tried with and without the -c option. I also put y and nu in the text file itself as input for new .g database and null display respectively. ---------7.14.8----------------------------- C:\Documents and Settings\rob.harris\Desktop\temp>"C:\Program Files\BRL-CAD\7.14 .8\bin\mged" -c test.g <test.txt BRL-CAD Release 7.14.8 Geometry Editor (MGED) 6/23/2009 1:03:27 PM, Compilation 2 robert.g.parker@ARLAWKLS11267:C:/Program Files/BRL-CAD Create new database (y|n)[n]?

Yeah when you finally get the display to work it feels like magic and I copied off the command line in a text file when that happened. I don't have it on mr Blackberry but recalling without notes I think the command terminal the application and the database all have to point in the same direction and when they don't for any reason it doesn't work. I wondered why it was so hard. Then I thought this might be an intelligence test by the CIA since gamers and others create self loading software so easily. Haha Then I thought it would be fun to write my own self loader. Then I thought given the way this engine is implemented I could use it in a variety of apps for seamless graphics. Then wondered about compression a sphere command versus a rendered sphere image represents.. Then I got busy with business before doing all of that. You guys respond after SIX WEEKS. IQ test man. Memory is a part of it. Haha I was at a Scuba event this weekend and as I hefted 36 pounds equipment for 4 hours of air I recalled we use a half pound of oxygen every six hours and wondered why cryogenic scuba never developed.

William, Thanks for the feedback and information. It's a continual effort to keep the documentation up-to-date, to say the least. Feedback such as yours definitely helps. That said, a couple follow-up questions if you can recall: > (1) the folder structure is not what is documented, so the system > has to be pointed to the appropriate folders to find projects and > applications where they expect; Which documentation? (It's an honest question, we have documentation in a variety of formats and locations.) > (2) at startup the nature of the problem is such that the system > returns another line - as if you typed in [ENTER] - *nothing* > happens. Blaming BRL-CAD for this isn't appropriate since I don't > think the system has a chance to startup at that point.

What command line are your referring to here as returning another line? The system command line or MGED's command line? When you run a script within MGED, whether it displays any output will depend entirely on the commands in that script. There have been a few changes to MGED's scripting interface (particularly on Windows) including bug fixes and enhancements, so our upcoming release should be an improvement in usability. Keep an eye out for the announcement of updated binaries. > I hope this is helpful, you have a damned good product, and you > cannot beat the price!

Apologies on the delays responding as our ability to respond to support requests ebbs and flows depending on our on-going development activities. Thanks again for the feedback and your patience.
