This raises an important question.  We should have a standard format for

expand an MPD to the original dat files before you can see the submodels.

I'd recommend going with MPD.  LDLite will render a (properly formatted)
MPD file, and the MPD format allows downloaders the possibility of
splitting the file back into its separate pieces.  Inline is a one-way
operation.

(...) Actually, Steve, it isn't one way if you don't mind doing a little cutting and pasting :) So if you really think MPD is that much better than what you did, where can I get it to see if I like it, I mean there must be some sort of program to (...)
