I don't understand. There is no HTML to strip. Do you mean that you've
encountered a case where, when you invoke the ldraw.cgi script, what's sent
back to you contains the entire raw ASCII article?

What do you mean by "comes up"? The article appears in the default browser
window? Or it appears in a new window? Does it appear as raw plain ASCII
text or as an HTML page?

OK, I *think* I gather what you're getting at. You're saying that you've
discovered a failure case for the ldraw.cgi script where it is returning
wrong data to you? If so, I need you to tell me the URL, so that I can try
to replicate it. Perhaps the .DAT content is special in some way -- like
it only contains comments or something...
