How do I view DAT files in /CAD/dat/ ?

From Jacob Sparre Andersen: !

You can use LDraw, LDraw Lite, or MLCad. The file downloaded from LUGNET is always named ldraw.cgi. You may want to rename it as you save it so you’ll know what the saved file represents. Also, by renaming it something.dat, Windows will be able to associate it with one of the editing programs.

From Steve Bliss: !

If you use Internet Explorer on Windows 98, you can set it up to associate the download with LDLite.
  1. Open Windows Explorer (or just open a folder’s window).
  2. From the View menu, select Folder Options.
  3. Click the File Types tab.
  4. Locate and select the “ldlite Document” entry in the Registered file types list.
  5. Click Edit.
  6. In the Edit dialog, type ‘application/x-ldraw’ (skip the quotes) in the Content Type (MIME) field.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Click OK on the Folder Options.
