Michael -
The new extension should be .ldr. I'd recommend saving files at .ldr as
default, but leave the option to save as .dat. Also, when opening a file,
look for both .dat and .ldr as a default.
BTW (for everyone, since this is on a public group) this has been discussed
over and over again for several years even. Just never put into practice.

| Hy, some time ago I've been told by somebody that extensions of dat files should be changed to something else. Can somebody remember what it was - and whats the actual status - I didn't hear about it since then... Michael (23 years ago, 29-Sep-01, to lugnet.cad.dev)
