I like the idea too.  I started with an MS-DOS version and tried to
convert
it to windows 3.11 but now that I have Visual C++ 4.2, I thought I'd
convert to 32 bit.  But I'm still learning MFC, I have school, a whole
bunch of other lame excuses.  I have an 80% Linux conversion using
ncurses
:)  Stuart should be praised for going to the effort.

One thing that I'm toying with in my DOS version is weapons that are
mass
based  like cloak.  I'm trying to use a format like this:
3 Arc A Battery, 3, 13, 0
Cloak, MASS / 10 , MASS * 10, 3
(Weapon Name, mass, cost, dependency flag)

That way, new weapons could be added to the database without a rebuild
of
the program.
