I'd hope any program would use the filename supplied. So if you had an mpd
like this ...
======================================================================
0 FILE a.ldr
0 Main File

1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 b.ldr

... everything should render without error (and you'd get a 3005 brick).
The 'c.dat' line would render correctly because the entire filename &
extension was supplied. If the '.dat' wasn't supplied, the renderer would
go looking for 'c.ldr' instead, and probably fail (the renderer could also
look for 'c.dat', just to be nice).
