Thank you very much!
I tested it on "my home" in Datsville, and it worked perfectly well, exactly as I want it to.
With these two lines and viewed in L3Lab, any flaws would have been discoved:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ttore.dat
1 47 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ttore.box
0
Now, next step is larger areas of Datsville...
I went to sleep early last night, so I never even gave it a try. And I'm very glad you took it.
The Datsville community is very grateful for your contribution,
