Hi Tim!

One other thing...

You mentioned in another group about James' background and history.
One thing I would like to see is a picture of him.  Can you contact his
family or put feelers out.  I think that would be an excellent item to add
to his memorial page.

I don't have contact with his family, but I believe James' old rivtron@...
address still works.  I would like to see a picture as well.  If someone
would like to give me his family's address, I will write.  If someone else
would like to write, that is fine as well.

Thanks,
Adam

Also... I see your point about the extension name, and agree with you.  It
needs to be more specialized.  When I see .dxf I think of Autocad, .pdf of
Adobe, .3ds of 3D Studio Max, or .pov of POVRay.  It would be nice to see an
LDraw file (part or model) and recognize immediately that it is LDraw.  Good
idea.

Of course, programs should still read from and write to .dat format.  But
yes, I feel a new file extension is in order.
