Okay, if you've found it on Peeron, you should be able to tell right away if an
official DAT exists because it will be linked right below the part description
line, and it will have an LDraw image of the part displayed on the right.

Parts Tracker only lists DAT files that have been submitted for approval but
haven't yet jumped through all of the requisite hurdles to be an official part.
Also, I've never been able to get the LDraw.org Search field to work on anything
but part numbers. Anything else gets me that same Library error script. For
simplicity's sake, I'd just stick to whatever you can access through Peeron if
they're not using LDraw at all.
