Well, I am actually using the map.txt file as my map source, so was not even using the Darklands.map file. Hmm, maybe I will have a look at it this week and...
Exciting progress! I have wondered if p/invoked gdi calls would be a good way to go but did not want to spend the time. (Thus my choice of C++ for the other...
