Hey Dan!

First, thanks for your Character Editor and World Regeneration tool.

Would it be possible for you to create a standalone World Map
application that would display the contents of the current game world
map in a resizable and zoomable window?

No? How about publishing comprehensive instructions on how to "parse"
the world map file so that I could take a crack at it?

I was thinking about having toggles for cities, villages, mines,
dragon lairs, etc.

(My old Delphi compiler is just sitting around getting no respect
lately. Or I could cut my teeth on the c# compiler I recently
downloaded from MS.)

-Jeff

... I am very interested in that if you are willing to make it available. That'd be cool. The C# especially, C++/dll very interesting too. Cheers, Quadko...
