What is possibly hapenning is one or more of the following:
- you don't have LDRAWDIR environment variable defined
- you are Not supplying the correct file
- the Model file is Not in the Model or current directory

The .dat files are in the \ldraw\ directory. Do they have to be in the
\models\ directory?

- if the previous is true, you have to supply the full path

See ya

P.S.
Maybe we could add something about this to the FAQ, if it's NOT already
there !
