I believe.that it would work anyway, because its:
link-dat-dat (a link goes to a dat which has a dat inside) for what he
wants, not:
dat-link-dat (a dat goes to a link which should be resolved to a dat).
Even if it doesn't recognise C:\ldraw\models as the current working dir, it
automatically
searches for submodels there anyway.
