How to load *.3ds file into lib3ds?

[bigbo]

I've exported my .max model to .3ds model and now want to load with lib3ds, but how do I do this exactly? How do I add the path to my 3ds file to lib3ds in order to read it? When I double-click 3dsplay.exe it says "3dsplayer: Error: No 3DS file specified". Thanks.

the executable is a command line tool. Meaning: start up the command line (typing "cmd.exe" in the windows start line), navigate to the direcotry of the executable, then type "3dsplay.exe <your-3ds-file>". That should work. 3dsplay is not a GUI-tool, as far as I know.
