  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
(...) That sounds like an interesting idea, Todd. Give it a shot. I would like to try it. -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
(...) OK, here's what I came up with (feature list): * Storage on the lugnet.com server of LDraw .DAT files of models submitted, and the models are identified by their author. * Viewable by anyone with a web browser which can launch LDLITE (as Gyug (...)

  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
(...) I guess there's one other kinda cool feature... Authors can bookmark, trade, or publish the URLs of their submissions. For example, Terry could include the following on a web page of his: <A HREF="(URL)My B-Wing Fighter Model</A> or if he (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
(...) Way cool, Todd. At least it is cool in Netscape. So far IE doesn't seem to want to work right. Anyone get IE to work with this? I keep getting a dialog box claiming that the directory is invalid. The directory reference in it seems to be (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
Waaaay cool, Todd. Of course, now I can think of a zillion ways ldlite could work better, like putting a "Save As" option on the menu, and having the zoom factor and viewing direction be set from a menu, and Saving all the comment fields to a (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
(...) Right now it's filtering out all lines which don't have a digit as their first non-whitespace character -- so the only author's notes that make it through are the ones beginning with 0. I was tempted to see if LDLITE would filter this out, and (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
I was tempted to see if that would work also. I think it would. I'll see if I have a better idea once I think some more about how to do a "Save to Disk". (...) (26 years ago, 13-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
So, I posted a .dat file to lugnet.cad.dat. The article did not come up with the option to run ldlite (using the standard nntp interface), so I'll see if this link will work: <a href="(URL)mudray.dat</a> (26 years ago, 13-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
(...) This seems to works. I don't know if this is what you mean? After installing LDlite and I made sure the .dat extension was associated with LDlite.exe. When I click on the .dat file reference on the web page I am asked if I want to save to (...) (26 years ago, 14-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
(...) I'm gonna have to fiddle some more. One problem may be that I had dat already associated to a text editor. I will delete that and see if ldlite associates properly by itself. Or just keep using Netscape for lugnet.cad.dat. :-) -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 15-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
 
  Re: Publishing DAT files (was Re: B-Wing DAT file)
 
Terry K wrote in message (...) I think if you just associate dat with LDlite you will be able to open dat files from IE LDlite installation notes: " LDlite will register itself as the default program for .dat files *if* no other program is already (...) (26 years ago, 15-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)
