That's interesting. Well, still, if making maps is part of
the game, then they may as well provide formal support for
mapping, eh?

Maybe providing a drawing program is too much, but then at LEAST
they should allow multitasking so that we could bring up a drawing
program.

I don't believe in paper. Trouble is, computers aren't yet a good
substitute. If you ask me, though, 80% of the reason is because s/w
developers still *expect* you to use paper in conjunction with the s/w.

I still can't believe that cut/paste isn't built-in to Intuition.
The version of it available on the Sun is pretty minimal, but hard
to live without once you get used to it.
