While working with old model files like Datsville, I used to get countless

wants the program to change the references, but that could still be quite a
time-consuming thing to do.

So I put together a DOS program that scans through all .dat files in a
selected folder for out-of-date file references.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.

That would be very handy, and nice to have.  I seem to remember there was a
program around that performed this job, but I don't remember the details now.

LDAO has a "Mover" function, but it only cleans up one file at a time.
