Personally I don't see any point in moving away from a stand alone C++
Windows app. Most people use Windows and I'm sure we can come up with an
easier way to share layouts/registries across the net without having to
resort to porting it to some other platform. TD needs as much performance as
possible especially if we're considering adding a 3D mode to it.

If it were to be ported to another platform it would be a lot of work since
TD makes heavy use of MFC C++ objects.

Uh Oh!  This thread got awfully quiet all of a sudden.  I take it that
means nobody wants to volunteer to create the SourceForge project...

If so, I'll reluctantly volunteer to do it because I'd like to tinker
with the source myself someday.  I say reluctantly only because I know
this will likely put a huge damper on the amount of time I have left
to fiddle with ldglite.  Oh well.

Send me a note at my hotmail address and I'll figure out some way to
transfer the sources.  Don't send sources to the hotmail address.  I'm
just about at the limit where they want you to pay for more space.

(...) I don't think it is anything to worry about. We (well I am anyway) waiting for Matt and/or Leonardo to sort out the source code, then as a group we should decide what to do with it. Sourceforge sounds like a good idea, we just need to work out (...) (22 years ago, 14-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.cad)
