Yeah, lets keep it .mpd.

I think he was being sarcastic. Project is probably installed on 4000
times as many PCs as all the LDraw compatible tools put together. If you
do anything that has to be planned, you can't live without Project and
there really isn't a good alternative to it. Trust me.


And file-extensions are inevitable.  Out of roughly 50,000 possible TLX's,
Microsoft has sucked up half.  Or so my registry tells me.

DANG!

Ya, they're hogs and if we check to find another extension, they'll
never bother to check to see if it is used before they may grab IT. But
still, I think we should consider change, if we change one, we should
change them all.

However there is a good argument to be made against changing them. I
just want to see it hashed out.
