Now I'm debating whether I should do some development on it myself or let
someone else do it or open it up for collaborative development.

I have been able to compile it but only with an older version of Visual
C++
(version 4.0). Plus I have discovered that some of the source to the help
system
is missing so I had to do some hacking to get it to build and the help
still
isn't quite working right.

Well, back when I was searching high and low for it, we wanted to intigrate
the source in with visual basic to control our switching and such on the
layout.  Its great that you've found this gem even if it was 5 years later.
I still have a small vested interest in seeing some sort of control built
in, and of course, there are a couple new pieces to add.  I guess if I had a
choice I'd say nominate someone to work on an updated version (if this is
the direction you want to go), release the updates *and* source for those
updates so tinkerers can tinker.  We've always wanted to add a couple of
commands in the menus and such for personal use.

On a parallel note, how's the Track Draw project going?  Who was heading
that one up again (apologees for not remembering!)?
