>  What's new with v1.7?  Yow!	New layout, new dice roller, new LOS/
>ruler tool, sending dice results via e-mail, faster scrolling, more
>counters, a (hopefully) bug free save and load routine, and a bunch
>of internal optimizations.  It's really enough to jump straight to
>v2.0, but I'm not done yet.

>  Coming soon are multiple addresses for e-mail, the ability to
>attach your vmp file with your die rolls, the ability to customize
>your dice preferences, add on-the-fly die roll modifiers, and [small
>drum roll please] I'm working on a method to add tables as a
>specialized kind of die (wandering monsters, crits, fumbles, hit
>locations, grenade scatter, etc.)  So, to start off the new year with
>something new, here's v1.7 of V_MAP while I continue to work towards
>version 2.0.  Of course, _you_ are my customers. Any feedback (pro or
>con) is always welcome.

>To put the OBSFCONSIM spin on it:  On the to-do list includes

>Triplanetary.	I've got countersets for all of these [thanks guys].
>Now all I need to do is find the time to clean them up and scan in/
>create the maps.  Isn't technology grand?
