| In LDLite on MS Windows, the .dat files are searched for for by trying to do an "OpenFile" in several directories. It would be very easy to replace the "OpenFile" with a call that gets a file via ftp or html. I dreamed of adding an attempt to get a (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
