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 matching:
alpha [a-zA-Z]
special [\.\_,\-\~/\\#:]
digit [0-9]
ident ({alpha}|{digit}|{special})+
Please see if you can find the path the the file, maybe by doing
a Start/Find for ldlite.dat when LDLite is running. (BTW, it is
common for browsers to use temp filenames which include the
name of the application, like ldraw.dat ldraw(2).dat, etc.)
DOS gurus: what symbol(s) have been left out of the above regexp
that are valid in filenames?
Um, *wham*, I just noticed "(" and ")" in ldraw(2).dat. That would
be the problem, then.
Thanks,
