Erg.
The .DAT extension is pretty much needed by all tools in use. And the
original tools are still used quite a bit, especially in cases where tool
flexability is more important than a GUI. (i.e. I still use LEdit to model
tank treads, since I've had little luck in getting MLCad to do this for me.)
Under Windows, you *can* associate the .DAT extension to another app and not
affect LDraw in any way; you can also set up extra right-click menuitems for
file extensions in Explorer to aid in launching different apps on the same file.
