Thanks for the clarification. I followed all of that with only a
tangential interest. (I don't use a lot of computer gaming aids, even
though I'm currently running an online campaign. ScreenMonkey for
running the game and Dundjinni for mapping is pretty much it.)
(I love Dundjinni. It's the mapping tool I've wanted for about 20
years. I end up using mostly the Classic icon set, because otherwise
I'll spend hours trying to find "the perfect tile" -- but with the
Classic set I can whip out a map which looks like a professionally
printed product in about the same time it would take me to draw it up
on graph paper.)
