Ok -- Steve Bliss ICQ'ed me and suggested trying L3Lab's Register File Types
option to settle the MIME-types. Win2K doesn't allow you to manually edit
the MIME-types through the interface, and I forget how to do it in the registry.
So, I try this L3Lab feature, and it reconfigures my file associations as
expected, for .dat and .mpd (but not .ldr). Now it appears L3Lab fixed my
MIME-types (perhaps I hadn't manually entered them for all file types, or
perhaps not at all on this install of Win2K). Since IE still interprets
LUGNET as serving me a .cgi file, it still opens with MLCad - since I
associated the two. BUT -- now MLCad renders the file properly, instead of
giving me an error!
If I open a DAT file via http, it opens in L3Lab.
