Although the original Lemmings 3D is a DOS game, the editor L3DEdit is a Windows app, and Loap is capable of loading custom levels made with it. You still need a copy of the DOS L3D game for L3DEdit to load the graphics from, but you never actually need to use DOSBox or actually run the DOS game - it's just there for the graphics files.

There was never really enough interest in Loap to justify a purpose-made editor, especially with L3DEdit already existing and being usable for the job.

2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

It's been a while since I've touched anything L3D-related, but from memory: You should put L3DEdit in the same folder as DOS L3D. It doesn't matter if this is the same folder as Loap or not.

Loap itself does not require a copy of DOS L3D (it comes with pre-extracted and converted copies of the graphics to the more-common PNG format); only L3DEdit needs this.
