  I've made a shell extension DLL to display some information about
LeoCAD/LDraw files when you move the cursor over them in Windows
Explorer (like what MS Word does). It will display the author &
description of LeoCAD files or the comments from the
beginning of a .DAT
file. This is the first public version but it should work correctly.
  The file (40 kb) is at
http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/3479/shlext.zip Take a
look at the 2
gif files included and read the README.TXT inside.

PS: Can someone think of a more useless program ? :)

But this is very useful! Thank you.

However, I often get too much information shown, apparently some text
left over from the previous part if it had a longer description.
E.g. for part 3001.dat:
"Brick  2 x  4 with Black Grille Pattern"
in stead of
"Brick  2 x  4"
if the previous part was 3010p04.dat:
"Brick  1 x  4 with Black Grille Pattern"

Perhaps a missing terminating zero character?

PS. If you want to make something even more "useless",
render the part too ;-)
