(...) 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)

(...) 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 (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-98, to lugnet.publish)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)

(...) 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)

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)

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)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)
