I've done this, but I'll try again....
Nope. No difference.

Nope. Funny thing here.... The file name is "ldraw". Then after I tried it
again, on the same dat file (this is via the lugnet.cad.dat interface) the
file name was "ldraw(2)". Wierd.

Its small, but not that small. Usually about 0.48?? seconds or so (I'm
running a 166Mhz Pentium). But, just in case this helps, one time it took
over 1 second, and I was able to read the error message; it said "Syntax
Error on line 1". Based on this and the file name wierdness, it seems like
LDlite isn't getting the correct file name. But let me say again, that if I
unzip the 1.5 version of ldlite, without changing anything else, everything
just works. Bizzare.
Hmm.... I just tried another thing. Just yesterday I downloaded Netscape
Communicator 4.51 (I've been using IE4). So, after your comment about it
all working fine for you in Netscape, I thought I'd try that. And, well,
everything works. No problems. So, clearly its something IE specific. I
don't know what.
Hopefully this will provide some clues though.

| I can guess what it is: IE is using a temp file name and path name that is a little too weird for LDLite. The LDLite code that opens file names changed in 1.6, and it is possible that a unallowed symbol is in the path to the file, e.g. something not (...) (26 years ago, 14-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)

| First, try the obvious: run 1.6 and reset the LDRAW base directory. I don't know exactly why, but that has helped before. Netscape+LDLite works OK for me, so I'm just guessing at the problem. After the "Finished" appears, go to the File/Save As menu (...) (26 years ago, 13-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad)
