It is indeed written using MFC, which it makes extensive use of for the GUI.
Porting it to another platform would take considerable effort.
I think what I'm going to do first is get the source code into a package I can
release (and archive!) and then decide what to do with it. I at least need to
work on fixing the help system because it appears I do not have the source to
that.
I am open to suggestions as to what to do with TD, both in terms of releasing
the source code to the community and what improvements people would like to see.
Has anybody kept a list of bugs anywhere? I know of at least one bug where it
leaves trails of black squares lying around which never happened on slower
machines when I wrote it.
