While working with old model files like Datsville, I used to get countless
moved-to-messages. I am pretty sure that ML-Cad prompts the user if he/she
wants the program to change the references, but that could still be quite a
time-consuming thing to do.

selected folder for out-of-date file references. This program probably works
only on my computers, because the only folder it scans for parts is
"C:\Grafik\LDraw\Parts"... :o)
But if there is no similar utility program already written, and if there is
a demand, I can make it look for the %LDRAWDIR% environment string or the
BaseDir key in LDraw.ini.
If so, LMK
