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 (...)

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)

Or just keep using Netscape for lugnet.cad.dat. :-) -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 15-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 (...)

| | | | 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)
