I have used the source (Pascal port of early version) in my LDList program,
and LDLite is the default viewer for .dat-files on my computer.

Just scaling up/down is not enough. The downscaling has to do some kind of
'resampling' (averaging pixels) to give anti-aliasing (BlockCAD can do this
when saving pictures, but not on the display).

I agree on this! I have written a couple of programs using the LDLite source
(ported to Pascal) - LDList, LDSShell, and a couple of (as yet) private
utilities.
The big problem for me is that I will never have the time to do a new port of
the latest LDLite, so my programs are missing a lot of functionality that
exists in the later versions, but not in my old port (which is also buggy and
memory eating...)
A DLL which rendered a .dat-file on a given device context (or an in-memory
bitmap, memory mapped file, or something like that) would be a great thing for
my small utilities (they would also be even smaller!)
Thanks for the LDLite source!
