Hi,

my work PC has Windows NT and Internet Explorer 4.0.  When I click on
a DAT file from a hypertext reference, e.g.

    http://www.math.uio.no/~fredrigl/technic/v4/v4.dat

the DAT file is sent to L3Lab and views nicely.

If I click on a DAT file from some of the LUGNET CAD groups, however,
I am promptet for a program to use to view the file "ldraw" or
"ldraw(x)", and I have to select L3Lab manually.  Do anybody know how
I can fix this?  I've been looking through the menus, but found
nothing helpful.

Did you use the "Register Files" command in L3Lab?  This function should
make the registry settings needed to launch DAT files via MIME-types.

At least, it seemed to on my system.

(...) Yes, I did. The problem appears to be that files from the LUGNET web interface don't have the ".dat" extension, but called "ldraw", "ldraw(1)", "ldraw(2)" and so on. Thanks for the suggestion, though. Fredrik (25 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad)
