I think the idea of a formal organization is really good, provided that it does server it's constituants. I think this is a good start and I encourage you to continue. I agree on the problem of installing/getting all of the necessary tools running. I was just getting ready to offer to make a central installer that could set up all of this stuff. In the Windows world, this could be a very easy task to accomplish, by using either a canned setup program (such as the Microsoft Windows Installer) or by using scripts to run through WSH (Windows Scripting Host). The scripts have the added advantage of being quickly modified and they can be filled with comments to outline and explain what is going on behind the scenes. Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I support the effort, and if needed I will be glad to offer my services on creating an installer.

FORWARD: Please accept my comments in the civil spirit in which they were intended, and not an attempt to start some sort of conflict. I asked some very tough questions because the proposal seemed to advocate it. This is also a somewhat long (...) (23 years ago, 3-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
