Franklin,
The same happens with ANYTHING I create in MLCAD. This a by-product of
using the hexadecimal system to create 12-bit and 24-bit colors. If you open
this in MLCAD (or POV-Ray), "67780772" will reveal itself to be the 12-bit
color "0x40A40A4". Look at it as Solid, 0-Red, 160-Green, 64-Blue. When saving
DAT files, they convert themselves "back" into decimal color values.
IOW, "31-Red, 202-Green, 255-Blue" (my favorite) goes to 24-bit hex.
"0x21FCAFF" into "35638015" because it counts the 2, denoting bit-size &
solid/translucent, as being part of a total hexidecimal number, as opposed to
being 1 determiner and 3 Hexidecimal figures.
While it looks crappy in LEdit, it looks like polished steel in MLCad and
POV-Ray.
