makelist was the original tool included with LDraw used for creating the parts.lst file.
Due to issues with makelist not being able to handle parts libraries with more than 1000 parts, makelst2 was introduced as its replacement.
Usage
When running makelist, only two options are available:
Sort by [N]ame or [D]escription:
Selecting [N] sorts parts by file name and selecting [D] sorts parts by the more user-friendly description.
For example, selecting [N] produces the following result:
1.DAT Homemaker Bookcase 2 x 4 x 4 10.DAT Baseplate 24 x 32 100.DAT Slope Brick 45 2 x 1 Inverted 101.DAT Plate 1 x 3 102.DAT Door 1 x 4 x 6 103.DAT Winch 2 x 4 x 2 103A.DAT ~Winch 2 x 4 x 2 Base 103B.DAT ~Winch 2 x 4 x 2 Drum 103C.DAT ~Winch 2 x 4 x 2 Top 11.DAT Door 1 x 3 x 4 Frame [...]
Whereas selecting [D] produces the following:
148.DAT Antenna 368.DAT Antenna Whip 278.DAT Arch 1 x 3 6005.DAT Arch 1 x 3 x 2 with Curved Top 47.DAT Arch 1 x 4 6182.DAT Arch 1 x 4 x 2 2339.DAT Arch 1 x 5 x 4 3455.DAT Arch 1 x 6 3307.DAT Arch 1 x 6 x 2 6183.DAT Arch 1 x 6 x 2 with Curved Top [...]
Runtime error
Running makelist on a more "modern" system (Windows 98, for example) would cause it to crash, producing an error similar to the below:
Runtime error 200 at 0049:0091.
This issue was rectified in makelst2.
