LDLite ver 2.2 and above has a working -R option to regenerate the
file in standard LDRAW syntax.  "ldlite -Rfoo.dat m_faust.dat"
would do the conversion.  There are other programs. I think LDAO
has an inliner option to do this maybe?

I haven't used MLCad for a while, but since I downloaded it and it took over
the Open action  for .DAT extension files, so when I doubleclicked on my file
m__faust.dat (below), it was opened in MLCad.
I noticed that the hands were not correctly oriented. In L3Lab, they come
correctly, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with the file. (Except I don't
like all these confusing rotate, transform, and translate metacommands).

(...) Apparently this also works in ldglite as long as you use the ldlite parser. I just tried it and mlcad seemed happy with the resulting file.
