Thanks, glad to know that I have the right programs.
However, I guess that means I'm doing something else wrong. When I click on
the [DAT] link that (I presume) should be a link to the DAT file, I am told
that I am downloading ldraw.cgi. I thought DAT files should end in .dat. I
downloaded one file and attempted to rename it, and part of it worked, but I
got several error messages about not being able to find certain files. Just
for reference, the DAT file I am testing is the Metroliner. I found it at
http://www.lugnet.com/cad/dat/models/sets/?n=48. I believe this might be a
multi-part file, so does that mean I need to manually break it up. I must
admit that I am a new user to all these Ldraw programs, and will be reviewing
the online help to see if it's anything I'm doing wrong.
Once again, I appreciate any help provided.
Thanks,
Steven Broughton

| Try a simpler one first with only one part... I believe that when you install LDLite it will automatically make the association for you if you use netscape. if not, when netscape prompts you what to do with the file, instead of downloading it, tell (...) (25 years ago, 19-Sep-99, to lugnet.faq)

| (...) Like Larry said, start with non-MPD parts. LDLite doesn't always render MPD files correctly, so avoid them until you know everything else works. If you are using Internet Explorer, you can set things up pretty easily. First, open Windows (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.faq)
