  Hi,

  I've used Matt's TD a long time ago and I saw that the train tracks were
being added to the LCAD library in the current vote, so I had the idea of
turning it into a plugin for LeoCAD. That way it would be possible to easily
create track layouts, export them as .DAT files and even render with POV-Ray.

  Yesterday I wrote to the address on the ngltc.org page and I was pointed to
this thread (I know it's a little old but still interesting).

Anyone who takes it over needs to be proficient in both C and Windows
programming. MFC experience would also help greatly. I wouldn't say you need
much experience in C++ but it wouldn't hurt (This was my first C++ and first
MFC program!)

  I have lots of experience with MFC/C/C++, and I'll also volunteer to port it
to Linux using GTK if you allow me to do that (a few months ago I ported the
Quake 3 map editor, so porting TD shouldn't be very difficult).

If more than one person wants to volunteer then we'll have to work something
out.

  I don't know if anyone else volunteered already but you can use CVS to have
several people working on the same program.

No one else with MFC/C/C++ experience has volunteered so unless there is any objection I'll offer it to Leonardo. I'll try and collect all the source code together this weekend. Matt (24 years ago, 29-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)

It's written in Microsoft Visual C++ with MFC 4.0. I would be more than happy for anyone to volunteer to take over the future development of Track Designer. I am sure there are many features that people would want to see added. Anyone who takes it (...) (24 years ago, 5-Sep-00, to lugnet.trains)
