I just downloaded it. I didn't have any problems downloading it, and it wasn't terribly slow either. I think my download speed averaged about 39k per second. It was the Mac version. Now, once I downloaded it and played around with it, I'm both impressed and amused. He's obviously built this with

Vampiring about with HyperNext . . . http://www.tigabyte.com/index.html I found the 'Map Viewer' example and thought it was rather good . . . although the project is hard-coded to one map (that would have to go), and the buttons look awful . . . And, If, One wants to be really B*tchy; the code

Doesn't it fall between two or three stools? First its operationally challenged (ie its restricted to Windows and Mac). Second, its free as in beer, but its not Free as in OSS. Which is fine, if you know you can count on the developer being around and sticking with it. But can you count on
