Cool, new code! I'll have to go easy on the Microsoft bashing for
a little while. By the way, what is .Net anyhow? I thought it was
the latest name for SOAP (perhaps that explains the XML).
And hey, since TrackDraw seems to import and export .DAT have you
given any thought to making an LDDP plugin DLL build target? I
suppose that could be done with a small wrapper that just launches
the executable, or maybe does something via .Net, whatever that is.
Oh, another idea. I also saw Drag N Drop mentioned. Is that just
for XML data, or could it be rigged to drop .LDR data like ldlist?
That'd be ultra cool.
