My idea was indeed to be able to up or download (however you would like to
call it) LDR and MPD files to the PDA via PC connection, infrared, wireless,
etc.
Next you should load the files into the VIEWER to show off to anyone who
would like to see it.
Instead of taking a whole PC (or laptop) with you, you can now fit small LDR
and MPD files on your PDA and show off.
You could indead then take images with you, but these in general are larger
the the textfiles (LDR or MPD).
On the other hand, you have to have the parts lib on it (or memory card)
where you could easily fit your images of your models on...
Further more, it was just an idea... ;-)
Cheers,
Jaco

| (...) Yeah I know, at first it sounds like a neat idea. I felt that way about the DOS version of ldglite, for a while... Let's see. The parts library is about 30MB (5MB compressed) and your average PDA sized image might be 100K. You could fit 50 (...) (20 years ago, 7-Dec-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
