Sven,
What might be better than sending a viewer app each time awould be send
a person an LDR/MPD file and a link to a server running a viewer,
perhaps an pared-down version of the java app mentioned in this post:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=12708. That would definitely save a lot
of headache for the sender and recipient; the sender wouldn't have to
include each of the part files (potentially forgetting a part) and the
recipient wouldn't have to receive so much information (eg, the app
plus model file w/ parts embedded inside). Plus if it were java based,
it would be platform independent and if it were hosted on the LDraw
web-site, it could/would always have the most recent parts (ideally).
Just tossing out some ideas.
