I've got a .DAT file that's ~50 Mb after exporting if from MLCAD.  Is
there anything that can convert a file this large (and potentially

I'd recommend L3P (available at http://home16.inet.tele.dk/hassing/l3p.html)
by Lars C. Hassing, but you should ask Lars (mailto:lch@ccieurope.com) if it
can really handle .dat files THIS big (although the docs say that the win32s
version CAN handle big files - bigger that about 3.000 to 4.000 parts at
least.)

BTW: What on earth produces a dat file this big and how did you edit this
in MLCAD (on my machine MLCAD get annoyingly slow at about 2.000 - 3.000
parts and a .dat file zize of about 65k)?
