Subject: Map Making Software Distribution
Several Eons ago there was interest in map making software for PBEM's
I have completed a distribution of Alun Thomas ftmap - map making
software for
FT PBEM and other types of FT games. The Distribution is for unix
systems with a
C compiler - GNU gcc is supported directly as is HP-UX my native
platform,
otherwise you will have to modify the Makefile. If someone wants to
modify this
for Win32/DOS or the Mac thay can have it but you're on your own. I'm
working
on a Win32 version but I'm not there yet.
To use the distribution you need to be able to compile programs on your
target
machine - you just need to understand the rudiments of the compiler and
make to
do this.
The distribution includes ftmap version 1.5 example data files and a set
of ship
images to get you going.

If you want the distribution respond to me PERSONALLY and not ME TOO to
the
list.

I am not a software support desk either so this distribution is not
supported
on a formal basis. You are on your own, unless you are completely stuck.
If
you workout the compiler flags for other machines let me know so I can
add them
to the Makefile. I'm interested in bugs in the distribution and ftmap.c.
The distribution comes in 2 files in unix tar format in either the gzip
or compress compression please specify. FYI you can unpack these on
PC/Mac with
the right tools, I don't plan a zip distribution.
The files are
ftmap_src.tar - 61K source code
ftmap_image.tar - 334K image files
These will be sent as email attachments if you can't take the bigger
file say so
some mailers barf on bigger files.
Sincerely
Tim Jones
