A couple thoughts on Repository format: Purpose for .dat repository: If all we are creating is an alternate way of creating instructions, I think it's probably more work than it's worth. The beauty of the LDraw .dat file is that it can be configured (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Hmm. LDAO is OK with long file names, except for a few functions (Copy File is one, I think) which explicitly require a valid 8.3 name. LDAO can be configured to translate long paths/names to short versions before shelling to other programs. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
