Thats actually an interesting problem with the windows userbase. Look at the difference in how the two communities grew up. One grew along the lines of "shareware" and "freeware", the other along the lines of open source. In the other side, I would bet that there is a much much greater percentage of unix users that are programmer/free-help-out types than windows user. I'd say it's almost guaranteed that until you reach a sizeable critical mass of windows players, you would get virtually none willing to develop. My point being, that if we break the DX client, and MT doesn't produce another working client for flat maps, we may just be SOL. --- Tim Rightnour < root at garbled.net > NetBSD: Free multi-architecture OS http://www.netbsd.org/ NetBSD supported hardware database: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/hw.cgi
