Thanks, Jeff.
I've got LDAO loaded, and I just now
used the Mini-fig Modeller feature
to create a DAT file. :-)
Now I've got a _different_ problem. . . . :-/
The DAT file created by LDAO has a whole bunch
of ROTATE and TRANSLATE comments in it,
and when I try to use _LDraw_ to render the mini-fig,

(It renders OK with _LDLite_, though...)
How do I convert the LDAO "DAT" file
into a format acceptable to LDraw?
Thanks.
Franklin
