The files up there should be already formatted to the needed format, DAT or
MPD.

Because that's the script that runs it. Go into your file associations and
create CGI to be associated with MLCad, so it will automagically open. It
will look right when it loads.

That's because some people insert step comments. I don't have MLCad loaded
on this machine right now, but somewhere in the options for each line you
can create a step. And I think there's an option that allows you to render
the entire model if you like - but again, not sure where.

http://www.ldraw.org/download/updates/ will always have the latest parts,
and is the official place to download parts updates.
Hope this helps.
