  General question on ldr and mpd files ...
 
We agreed on having the ldr extension in the future. But there is one point which is not clear for me: Normaly there should be *.dat entries inside a mpd file. Will older software work if I change the extension inside the mpd files? I would like to (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad)
