I agree it would be nice, but with the advent of TrackDraw (coming soon we • all
hope, the demo that Cary gave at BF was amazing) it's not as important any • more,
except as a way to determine what the format of .tdl files are so that an
importer might be created.

Larry is right, while usefule TD's time has come and I expect Cary's
TrackDraw application will be far better in the long run.  I got to play
with it before Cary went to BrickFest and I must say the ability to zoom in
and out makes it more useful than TD for a lot of applications already!  The
selection paradigm is better too - how many times have you tried to select a
piece of track in TD only to select the baseplate underneath it.  Even in
it's early Alpha state, TrackDraw's selection mechanism is better than TD's
is.
